Overview:

We are seeking a highly experienced and forward-thinking Senior Systems Engineer (SE3) with deep expertise in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and algorithm evolution. This role is critical to ensuring our systems remain secure and resilient in the face of emerging quantum threats. The ideal candidate will lead the design, integration, and implementation of quantum-resistant architectures, working closely with cross-functional teams to modernize cryptographic frameworks and future-proof mission-critical systems.

Application Process:

Interested candidates should submit their resume detailing their qualifications and experience.

Security Clearance Requirements:

  • U.S. Citizenship required

  • Active TS/SCI Security Clearance with Polygraph

Key Responsibilities:

  • Analyze and translate user requirements into secure, scalable system architectures that incorporate PQC principles

  • Lead the design and integration of quantum-resistant algorithms into existing and new systems, ensuring compliance with DoDAF and SOA frameworks

  • Conduct feasibility studies and risk assessments related to quantum computing threats and mitigation strategies

  • Develop and maintain system engineering documentation including System Engineering Plans, Requirements Specifications, and Interface Control Documents

  • Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to implement cryptographic agility and ensure systems are prepared for post-quantum transition

  • Guide development of simulation models and prototypes to evaluate quantum algorithm performance and system impact

  • Participate in Configuration Control Boards (CCBs), design reviews, and program reviews to ensure alignment with evolving cryptographic standards

  • Support the development of Information Assurance (IA) strategies incorporating PQC mechanisms (e.g., lattice-based, hash-based, multivariate polynomial cryptography)

  • Stay current with NIST PQC standardization efforts and integrate approved algorithms into system designs

  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across multi-disciplinary teams

Education & Experience Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in System Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Science, Engineering Management, or related discipline from an accredited college or university

Additional Skills & Abilities:

  • Minimum 20 years of systems engineering experience, with at least 5 years focused on cryptographic systems or algorithm development

  • Demonstrated experience with PQC algorithm implementation, cryptographic protocol design, or quantum threat modeling

  • Familiarity with NIST PQC candidates and transition strategies

  • Strong understanding of system security engineering including FIPS 140-3, CNSSP-15, and NSA Suite B/C

  • Proficiency in tools such as MATLAB, Python, or C/C++ for algorithm prototyping and simulation

  • Experience with DoD acquisition lifecycle, JCIDS documentation, and Certification & Accreditation (C&A) processes

Fringe Benefits:

  • Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans

  • Retirement Plan: 401(k) with company match

  • Paid Time Off: Generous PTO policy including vacation, sick leave, and holidays
