The Cyber Detection Engineer will evaluate whether cybersecurity sensors, data pipelines, and analytic platforms provide sufficient visibility into adversary activity. The position analyzes endpoint, network, system, and security-event telemetry; maps observable activity to adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs); and develops threat-informed products that communicate detection coverage and operational risk. The successful candidate will collaborate across cybersecurity operations, threat analysis, systems administration, data engineering, and mission-system organizations to translate complex technical findings into actionable guidance. This position is on-site in Colorado Springs, Colorado. ## Responsibilities - Analyze endpoint, network, system, and security-event telemetry to identify detection opportunities and visibility gaps within DCO-S platforms. - Map mission-relevant threats, telemetry, and detections to MITRE ATT&CK. - Develop and maintain ATT&CK Navigator layers, detection-coverage heatmaps, and related threat-informed visualizations. - Assess adversary TTP coverage and classify techniques as fully covered, partially covered, unobserved, or unassessed. - Develop, test, document, tune, and automate detection logic, queries, scripts, and repeatable analytical processes. - Evaluate and validate security data from sensor collection through parsing, normalization, enrichment, ingestion, indexing, storage, search, and visualization. - Translate findings into operator guidance, including recommended searches, analytical methods, and relevant data sources. - Support purple-team and threat-emulation activities by determining whether simulated adversary actions produce the expected telemetry and detections. - Document detection gaps, mission risks, and corrective actions for technical and leadership audiences. - Collaborate with cyber operators, intelligence analysts, system administrators, network engineers, quality-control personnel, and mission stakeholders to improve detection methodologies and test procedures. - Travel up to 10% to CONUS and OCONUS locations at the direction of the government customer. Qualifications Required: - Bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, computer science, information technology, engineering, data science, or a related field, plus three or more years of relevant experience.

Qualifying SOC experience must include functions such as hands-on investigation, SIEM querying, detection tuning, threat hunting, telemetry analysis, or log-source validation. - Experience applying MITRE ATT&CK to adversary TTPs, telemetry, detection logic, and coverage-gap analysis. - Experience analyzing endpoint, network, system, or security-event data using SIEM, EDR, network-security-monitoring, or comparable analytics platforms. - Ability to develop and refine detection logic, queries, scripts, visualizations, and repeatable analytical processes. - Ability to evaluate whether security data is properly collected, parsed, normalized, enriched, indexed, searchable, and available to cyber operators. - Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, communication, and collaboration skills. - Ability to document and present complex technical findings to operator, engineering, mission, and leadership audiences. - Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. - Must meet DoD 8140 qualification requirements for the assigned DCWF work role and proficiency level through an approved certification. - Active DoD Top Secret security clearance with SCI eligibility and U.S. citizenship required. Qualifications Desired: - Experience supporting DoD, USSF, DCO-S, intelligence-community, or other mission-system environments. - Experience with ATT&CK Navigator, purple-team exercises, adversary emulation, detection-as-code, or Sigma. - Experience with Bash scripting. - Current Security+, CySA+, or other certification approved for the assigned DCWF work role and proficiency level.
