Cyber Operations Engineer, Senior

Cyber Operations Engineer, Senior The Opportunity:  We are seeking a highly experience d senior Cyber Operations Engineer to design, build, and field deployment-ready technical capabilities in complex operational environments. This role blends sof tware engineering with hands-on technical operations, including hardware integration, network configuration, virtualization, and system troubleshooting. The ideal candidate is a builder and operator, someone who can move from writing production code, to configuring lab hardware, to diagnosing network and VM issues in the same day. You are comfortable working in ambiguity, rapidly prototyping solutions, and translating client needs into secure, practical technical outcomes. In this role, you will help shape and deliver capabilities across sof tware, physical test environments, embedded systems, industrial and IoT technologies, and field-deployed infrastructure. You will work closely with customers, engineers, and client stakeholders to develop resilient solutions that perform in lab, range, and real-world conditions. This is a hands-on position for a senior technologist who thrives at the intersection of engineering rigor and operational execution. What You’ll Work On: Lead architecture, design, development, and deployment of secure, production-grade sof tware capabilities. Build sof tware in languages such as Python, Go, Node.js, or C# across front-end, back-end, and integration layers. Configure, operate, and troubleshoot physical and virtualized environments, including servers, endpoints, networking gear, and embedded devices. Integrate sof tware with hardware systems, sensors, radios, industrial equipment, IoT, and edge technologies. Stand up and manage VMs, containers, and lab infrastructure to support development, testing, and operational demonstrations. Design and implement APIs, distributed services, and system-to-system integrations. Establish CI / CD pipelines, automated testing, and secure development practices to enable reliable delivery. Conduct technical reviews and communicate design decisions, risks, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Mentor engineers and contribute to reusable patterns, technical standards, and engineering best practices. Support field testing, customer e nga gements, and technical demonstrations. Stay current on emerging technologies and rapidly evaluate their operational relevance. Travel as needed to support customer sites, labs, and field activities. Join us. The world can’t wait.
