Senior Cyber Software Engineer - Precision Fires

SAIC · Huntsville

SAIC has an immediate need for a Senior Cyber Software Engineer to support the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC) Software, onsite at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL.

This role bridges the gap between software engineering and cybersecurity. The candidate will be responsible for the security architecture, secure coding, static/dynamic code analysis, and vulnerability remediation for embedded and application software across the full software development lifecycle. Working directly within an Agile/Scrum team, the candidate will ensure military systems meet rigorous DoD cybersecurity requirements (such as DISA STIGs/SRGs and RMF standards) while actively contributing to modern continuous integration and automated software delivery pipelines.

Key Responsibilities & Job Duties:

Secure Software Development & Engineering: Participate in the full lifecycle design, coding, testing, and integration of secure embedded and application software for military systems using C/C++ and Object-Oriented methodologies.
Static & Dynamic Code Analysis: Perform, analyze, and track static and dynamic code analysis scan results (e.g., Parasoft, Coverity, Fortify) to identify vulnerabilities, eliminate security flaws, and guide development remediation efforts.
Security Control Implementation & Hardening: Work with cross-functional software teams to implement and automate technical security controls, including DISA STIGs, SRGs, and industry best practice hardening guidelines across Linux, RTOS, and application baselines.
Security Code & Architecture Reviews: Evaluate software requirements, system design changes, and proposed merge requests for security impact to determine authorization and risk mitigation.
CI/CD & Pipeline Security (DevSecOps): Integrate automated security testing and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Microsoft Azure DevOps, Git).
Vulnerability Scanning & Remediation: Analyze vulnerability scan outputs (such as ACAS/Nessus) to develop and implement code- or configuration-level remediation plans.
RMF & Artifact Support: Assist in updating Risk Management Framework (RMF) artifacts, including software/firmware inventories, interface specifications, and Ports, Protocols, and Services Management (PPSM) documentation.
Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Actively participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, technical interchange meetings, and hardware/software design reviews alongside Systems, Cyber, Safety, Operations, and Test teams.
