Job Description
Job Number: R0251171
Cyber Range Engineer
The Opportunity:
As a cyber warfare engineer, you know how critical it is to stay ahead of evolving threats by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities before adversaries can. At Booz Allen, you'll bring that expertise to a mission-focused team where you'll use your understanding of cyberspace operations to apply emerging technologies, uncover system and network vulnerabilities, and develop solutions to support cyber mission forces.
In this role, you'll develop representative and realistic cyberspace virtual and physical environments to provide hands-on opportunities for the Air Force's cyber workforce. You will apply extensive technical expertise and full industry knowledge to develop innovative solutions to complex problems. You'll work without considerable direction and mentor and supervise team members, as needed.
This is your opportunity to help advance national security through cutting-edge cyber capabilities.
