Job DescriptionJob Description Overview Avionics Penetration Tester - Junior - TGEE LOCATION: Edwards AFB, CA Salary Range:Estimated $105,000 USD - $115,000 USD annually. JOB STATUS: Full-time CLEARANCE: Secret CERTIFICATION: See Below TRAVEL: 20% Astrion has an exciting opportunity for an SE-2 Cybersecurity Penetration Tester for the TMAS 2 96 CTG Task Order, supporting the 48 CTS / TGEE. The 48th CTS/Det 1 conducts Cyber Security Test & Evaluation of Embedded Avionics & Weapons Systems for multiple platforms within the Air Force. There are two paths for this position identified below: Path 1 has a RF and Avionics Security emphasis while Path 2 focuses on Enterprise and Network Penetration Testing REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS Core qualifications Technical BS Degree and 0-3 years of applicable experience. Additional experience may be substituted for education. Active Secret clearance is required and must be able to obtain/maintain a Top Secret clearance. U.S. Citizenship. Must have or be able to obtain DOD 8570 IAT Level 3 certification (CASP, CISSP, ISSEP, etc.) within 6 months of hire, and maintain certification throughout employment. Networking Fundamentals: A solid understanding of the OSI model, TCP/IP, network routing/switching, and common network protocols. Computer Architecture: Knowledge of computer and processor architecture, memory management, and familiarity with embedded systems. Operating Systems: Experience with Linux-based operating systems (e.g., Kali, Ubuntu) and comfort on the command line. Problem-Solving Aptitude: A demonstrated ability to approach complex technical challenges methodically. Experience with Capture The Flag (CTF) events, bug bounties, or personal security research projects is a significant advantage. Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills. You must be able to document your test methodology and translate highly technical findings for non-technical audiences. We are seeking driven candidates with a foundational skill set in one of the following two paths. You are not expected to be an expert in everything, but you must demonstrate a strong aptitude and passion for learning in both of these domains. Path 1: RF and Avionics Security Focus This path is for candidates with an interest in hardware, radio frequencies, and the specialized data buses that form the backbone of modern aircraft. Avionics Datalink Knowledge: Foundational understanding of military and civilian avionics data buses, primarily MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429. Familiarity with other protocols like Link 16 or CAN bus is a plus. RF Systems Experience: Prior experience with RF theory and hands-on use of test equipment. This includes: RF Analysis Tools: Spectrum Analyzers, Vector Signal Analyzers, and Network Analyzers. RF Generation Tools: Signal Generators and Arbitrary Waveform Generators. SDR Platforms: Hands-on use of tools like HackRF, USRP, or similar Software Defined Radios for signal analysis and manipulation.

Demonstrated proficiency in bypassing modern, layered security defenses (e.g., EDR, advanced firewalls, network traffic analysis) to establish and maintain persistent, C2 (Command and Control) access within a contested network environment. DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS Active TS/SCI preferred. OSCP, CPTS, PNPT certifications desired. Prior understanding of aircraft avionics navigation, communication, and datalinks is desired (GPS, ACARS, Mode-S, Link-16, and etc.) For Path 1, an understanding of modulation schemes and protocol reverse engineering is highly desired. RESPONSIBILITIES Execute Full-Spectrum Penetration Tests: Plan and conduct security assessments on advanced avionics, embedded systems, traditional IP systems, and RF datalinks for various DoD and federal customers. Become a Systems Expert: Dive deep into technical documentation to uncover design flaws and potential cybersecurity weaknesses before they become a threat.
