• Information Systems Security Officer

    TEKsystems (Los Angeles, CA)


    Description

    TEKsystems Global Services has an immediate need for two Information Systems Security Officers (ISSOs) to support cybersecurity assurance efforts across weapons and RDT&E labs at China Lake and Point Mugu. These ISSOs will be responsible for executing the full Risk Management Framework (RMF) lifecycle—from initial planning and system categorization to control implementation, validation, and preparation for Authorization to Operate (ATO). The roles are documentation-heavy, with a strong emphasis on security packages, POA&Ms, and compliance artifacts. Selected candidates will be embedded within lab environments, building trust with technical teams and contributing to long-term mission success. Experience supporting classified and unclassified systems, including platform IT and avionics, is essential. Candidates must hold an active Secret clearance and be willing to relocate to Ridgecrest, CA. Familiarity with DoD cybersecurity policies and the ability to work collaboratively within lab cultures while respecting federal ethics guidelines is critical.
