NLR is looking to solve complex cybersecurity challenges in energy systems to build resiliency and reduce risk across the energy sector. This involves research, modeling, simulation, and development of advanced cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure.
Requirements
- Deep experience using relevant cybersecurity standards and tools included but not limited to MITRE ATT&CK Framework, NIST CSF, detection tools, penetration testing and red teaming tools, and encryption
- Expert knowledge of technical field and related disciplines
- Expert understanding and application of project management principles, concepts, practices, and standards
- Full stack software development
- Offensive and defensive cybersecurity principals
- Ability to accomplish strategic and technical research objectives
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE security clearance at the Q/TS/SCI level.
Responsibilities
- Define and build the technical capabilities of the ARIES Cyber Range in order to advance modeling and simulation capabilities, reference architectures, threat-to-consequence analysis, and testing and evaluation.
- Defines and advances the laboratory’s strategic research vision for cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and energy systems.
- Leads the conception, design, and execution of complex, multi-organizational, or multi-disciplinary projects.
- Develops new research directions, scientific approaches, or technologies that shape the state of the art, to include software tool development and R&D.
- Represent NREL as the technical leader for the ARIES Cyber Range as well as the principal investigator for other large projects and programs
- Contribute to and enhance the technical capabilities of the ARIES Cyber Range in order to advance modeling and simulation capabilities, reference architectures, threat-to-consequence analysis, and testing and evaluation.
- Leads significant projects or research tasks, ensuring technical excellence, timely delivery, and effective coordination among team members.
Other
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE security clearance at the Q/TS/SCI level. A polygraph may be required.
- Ability to travel as needed up to 10%
- Exhibits an exceptional degree of ingenuity, creativity, resourcefulness, and teamwork
- Existing relationships within DOE program offices (e.g., DOE CESER) and/or the energy sector space with a focus on electric utilities, and demonstrated ability to leverage those relationships to create new collaborations and opportunities.
- Experience working with Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC) with a preference in DOE National Laboratories
