Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a TS/SCI Systems Engineer II to support a federal client in Suffolk, VA. This team builds and manages real‑time Cross Domain Solutions that allow simulation data to move safely between Top Secret and Secret environments. They design rulesets and translation logic that strip, transform, or block sensitive data so higher‑classification entities can interact with lower‑classification simulations without exposing restricted details. The focus is on enforcing security rules while preserving realistic training effects across both environments in real time.
· Implement CDS rulesets to control data flow between security domains (allow, deny, sanitize).

· Analyze DIS protocol data structures and identify appropriate objects and interactions for CDS transfer.

· Support integration of JLVC HLA FOM data into CDS-compliant formats.

· Engineer data transformation solutions to convert higher-classification information into releasable lower-classification formats.

· Ensure traceability of training audience actions and simulation effects across classification boundaries.

· Collaborate with security accreditation authorities to achieve CDS certification and compliance.

· Evaluate and address limitations of fixed-format CDS data packets in modern network environments.

· Support system integration, testing, and validation of CDS capabilities within simulation architectures.

· Maintain and update technical documentation, including interface specifications and data handling guides.

· Provide systems engineering support across requirements, design, implementation, and verification phases.
