The Sensoring & Monitoring Control Systems Cybersecurity Consultant will leverage 3–5 years of experience to support Customer Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) by integrating OT cyber requirements into the Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) community.  Will oversee sensor deployments (IDCS, VOLTRN+) and work to drive OT incident detection/incident response capabilities into the community. Acting as a technical liaison to Customer cyber forces, this mid-tier consultant will translate OT mission criticality into actionable plans to manage effectiveness of monitoring sensors, and ensure personnel roles and certifications align with evolving threat-monitoring requirements. The role demands strong analytical acumen, hands-on familiarity with security sensor (intrusion-detection) platforms, and clear communication with both technical operators and senior leadership. Work is 40% onsite.

Responsibilities

• OT Defense Cyber Operations Liaison (35%): Serve as the point of contact between sensor teams and DCO operators; prepare and deliver concise reports and briefings on sensor effectiveness and threat posture
• Sensor Operations Support (25%): Prioritize and oversee the integration and deployment of IDCS and VOLTRN+ sensor platforms into Customer OT environments
• Dashboard Development & Analytics (20%): Design and maintain real-time dashboards for monitoring sensor outputs, trending key metrics, and alert volumes
• Workforce Certification Alignment (20%): Assess sensor-monitoring roles against DoD certification requirements, recommend training/certification paths, and track compliance

Requirements

• US Citizenship; TS/SCI Clearance
• 3-5 years of experience in the following areas:
  • Sensor Deployment & Management – Configuring, deploying, and tuning cybersecurity intrusion detection systems
  • Dashboard Analytics & Visualization – Building and maintaining real-time threat dashboards (e.g., Splunk, ELK, or similar platforms)
  • Defensive Cyber Operations Support – Collaborating with DCO teams to translate OT data into incident-detection and response actions
  • Control Systems Security – Understanding of OT/ICS network protocols and how sensor data maps to control-system assets
  • Stakeholder Communication – Preparing and presenting technical briefings and reports to both operators and senior leaders
  • Compliance & Certification Alignment – Familiarity with workforce certification frameworks (e.g., DoD IAM, CSSP) and mapping roles to sensor-monitoring requirements
  • Analytical Troubleshooting – Investigating sensor alerts, diagnosing false positives, and refining detection rules

Preferred Skills

• 2-3 years of experience in the following areas:
  • Cyber Operations – Previous working experience with Air Force cyber operations (OCO, DCO, Cyber Protection Teams, Mission Defense Teams, CSSP, CVA-H toolkits, etc.)
  • Cyber Training – Working knowledge of Customer cyber career field training programs and pipelines
  • Cloud-Based Monitoring – Experience integrating IDCS/VOLTRN+ or equivalent sensors with AWS/Azure security monitoring intrusion-detection systems and services; knowledge of cyber toolkits (CVA-H)
  • Machine-Learning Applications – Applying basic ML techniques to identify anomalous patterns in OT/ICS telemetry
  • Data Fusion & Correlation – Aggregating multiple sensor feeds and external intelligence sources to enrich detection capability
  • Incident Response Coordination – Participating in playbook development and after-action reviews for sensor-generated alerts
  • GRC Tool Familiarity – Working with eMASS or equivalent systems with sensor-monitoring control evidence
