Cyber Engineer – Advanced Cyber Training Environments

• Engineer and deploy cyber training environments using VMs containers and SDN across hybrid edge and cloud infrastructures.
• Implement traffic simulations (burst steady-state geo-distributed adversarial AI/ML-driven) to emulate realistic user/system behavior.
• Develop frameworks for orchestrating non-player character (NPC) activity and user emulation across IT and OT domains.
• Integrate AI-based traffic generation and host-level user emulation for enhanced realism.
• Build observability pipelines for traffic replay metrics collection autoscaling validation and centralized logging.
• Execute full-spectrum threat campaigns using open-source offensive tools to support blue team training.
• Integrate threat intelligence feeds and adversarial emulation to reflect current TTPs.
• Deploy and maintain defensive toolsets for network monitoring incident detection and response.
• Develop infrastructure-as-code and network-as-code solutions integrated with CI/CD and SecDevOps workflows.
• Integrate third-party tools to enhance training realism and operational fidelity.
• Administer and secure private cloud stacks closed-loop networks and critical infrastructure venues.
• Manage network/server infrastructure including AD firewalls hypervisors and identity management systems.
• Support cyber exercises and events including setup execution troubleshooting and close-out.
• Participate in technical working groups and customer engagements to validate and improve cyber training environments.
• Apply hands-on experience with OT systems including SCADA HMIs ICS DCS PLCs RTUs IoT and IIoT devices.
