Job description

Lead, Cyber/EW/EMSO Convergence - Job Description Who We Are: Kudu Dynamics was forged out of a decade of experience in computer network operations and staffed with talent who have built, overseen, and enhanced capabilities through out the entire USG arsenal. Our team of hackers and engineers has experience spanning centuries of research, development, and operations missions across desktop, mobile, IoT, and embedded platforms. Hackers of more than just engineering domains, we have exploited IRS regulations to become an ESOP which is effectively a not-for-profit where we legally exist for the benefit of the Kudites instead of selling our souls to Private Equity. Kudu Dynamics is uniquely qualified to anticipate tomorrow's threats, to build the next generations of capabilities and be in it for the long game. Full Job Description: Cyber is the art of discovering and exploiting asymmetries in software systems that we call Cyberspace. Electronic Warfare and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations are the art of discovering and exploiting asymmetries in physical devices that interact with the electromagnetic environment. Kudu specializes in developing capabilities for each area, so the Cyber, EW and EMSO Convergence Lead will converge Kudu's capabilities in these closely aligned domains. The lead will use this alignment to drive converged acquisitions, which are deployed to converged operations, resulting in a rejection of disjoint approaches at the oversight and policy levels. This role is expected to plan, bootstrap, and lead an experimentally iterative convergence over the FYDP and beyond drawing from and helping develop Kudu's engineering divisions to identify and exploit asymmetries at the intersection of the Cyber and Physical domains. Responsibilities: Devise a plan to converge Cyber and Physical domains built on Kudu's current and future capabilities. Work with the Engineering Divisions, their Directors, their principal investigators, and their engineers to: Understand the current and future programs. Help develop the existing portfolios in a way that they better support convergence. Shape future approaches. Work with Kudu's functional Divisions, their Directors, and their specialists to: Understand and plan for how the Kudu business model should evolve to exploit the converged domain. Help plan future Kudu facilities and CAPEX lab equipment to facilitate domain convergence based on the articulable expected return on the investment. Work with government Acquisition organizations to shape their understanding of the converged Cyber and Physical domains in a way that they fund Kudu's convergence. Work with government Operational organizations to both shape existing requirements/plans and evolve future requirements/plans based on opportunities inherent in converged domains. Work with government Oversight to build confidence in a maneuver approach to identifying/exploiting asymmetries in a converged approach where past brute-force attrition approaches have cost credibility. Work with government Policy to adapt doctrine to exploit opportunities at the speed and scale of modern warfare. This role and its responsibilities are expected to constantly self-evolve based on an iterative experimental approach to domain convergence as it interacts with the technical realities, the acquisition cycle, the operational realities, the oversight priorities, and the policy climate. This role is expected to be able to answer many of the natural clarifying questions by devising a technical or nontechnical experiment to evaluate the hypotheses, to find a way to fund and/or conduct those experiments, and to maneuver based on the results. Qualifications: A U.S. citizen with Top Secret, SAP, and SCI security clearance eligibility Have a B.S. or equivalent in an applicable field. 10 years of experience in Offensive Cyber. 10 years of experience in Electronic Warfare. A track record w/ Cyber and EW Acquisition offices, operational end-users, oversight, and policy. The ideal candidate will have an initial living plan to achieve convergence in a militarily relevant timeframe; that plan will be expected to naturally evolve as the individual better understands Kudu's portfolio and shapes said portfolio; and that plan will incorporate natural experimentation to maneuver with technical, acquisition, operations, oversight, and policy asymmetries are identified. Benefits: Equity at a company that is doing dynamic, fun, meaningful, and interesting work. A flexible work schedule, with the option to work remotely most days, if that's your style. Your own yearly discretionary budget to buy the things that make you happy. In addition to highly competitive salaries, we offer premium healthcare options, 401k matching, and an annual pass to a swim in the bonus pool. We also offer four weeks of paid time off and 11 federal holidays to utilize whenever you want throughout the year. Awesome, enthusiastic co-workers and a company culture that promotes a jerk- free environment. Rattle the windows with the company band, participate in board game or movie nights, and help balance out the scotch vs. bourbon ratio in the office. Kudu provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
