Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a world-class research institution powered by a highly educated, diverse workforce committed to the values of integrity, creativity, collaboration, impact, and courage. Every year, scores of dynamic, driven people come to PNNL to work with renowned researchers on meaningful science, innovations, and outcomes for the U.S. Department of Energy and other sponsors; here is your chance to be one of them! At PNNL, you will find an exciting research environment and excellent benefits including health insurance, and flexible work schedules. PNNL is located in eastern Washington State-the dry side of Washington known for its stellar outdoor recreation and affordable cost of living. The Lab's campus is only a 45-minute flight (or ~3 hour drive) from Seattle or Portland, and is serviced by the convenient PSC airport, connected to 8 major hubs. Responsibilities may include: Design, deploy, and operate environments, including virtualized and containerized environments, that support cyber research, testing, and training. Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatable, scalable deployment of systems, services, and cyber testbeds. Integrate hardware, hypervisors, orchestration tools, and monitoring platforms to build end-to-end cyber range and lab environments. Perform system and network configuration, hardening, patching, and baseline enforcement to support secure operations. Conduct performance, scalability, and reliability testing of virtualized and containerized infrastructure; analyze and report on findings. Implement and manage infrastructure monitoring and logging solutions to ensure system health, availability, and security visibility. Support cyber operations activities by standing up, configuring, and troubleshooting virtual networks, services, and applications. Develop scripts, automation, and tooling (e.g., Python, Ansible, Docker Compose) to streamline deployment, testing, and operational workflows. Participate in agile/sprint-based development, documenting work, reporting progress and blockers, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Contribute to the design and architecture of new methods and techniques for cyber defense, test range realism, and system resiliency. Support security assessments and penetration-style testing activities (e.g., scanning, brute-force, protocol/service testing) in controlled lab environments. Prepare technical documentation, test reports, and presentations for internal stakeholders, sponsors, and external collaborators. Qualifications Minimum Qualifications: BS/BA or higher in Cybersecurity or related field Preferred Qualifications: Hands on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) technologies such as Packer, Ansible, Terraform, and/or Pulumi. Experience with virtualization and hypervisor platforms such as Proxmox, VMware ESXi/vSphere, Hyper V, and related VM lifecycle management. Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker, Docker Compose, and container based service stacks. Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools and practices for infrastructure health and activity tracking. Strong understanding of core cybersecurity concepts and practices, including system hardening, vulnerability scanning, and secure configuration. Experience developing or supporting cyber ranges, testbeds, or lab environments for training, experimentation, or system evaluation. Proficiency in one or more scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python) for automation, integration, and tooling. Strong analytical, problem solving, and technical writing skills, including the ability to produce clear reports and documentation. Understanding of general cybersecurity principles and threat landscapes relevant to one or more areas such as cloud, virtualized infrastructure, industrial/operational technology, or advanced/emerging technologies (e.g., AI/ML). Ability to quickly learn and apply new tools, platforms, and security concepts in a research, lab, or operational environment. This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a federal security clearance. A security clearance background investigation includes review of your employment, education, financial, and criminal history, as well as interviews with you and your personal references, neighbors, and co-workers to determine trustworthiness, reliability, and loyalty to the United States. The investigation also examines your foreign connections, drug and alcohol use, foreign influence, and overall conduct. Requirements: U.S. Citizenship Background Investigation: Applicants selected will be subject to a Federal background investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified matter in accordance with 10 CFR 710, Appendix B. Drug Testing: All Security Clearance positions are Testing Designated Positions, which means that the applicant selected for hire is subject to pre-employment drug testing, and post-employment random drug testing. In addition, applicants must be able to demonstrate non-use of illegal drugs, including marijuana, for the 12 consecutive months preceding completion of the requisite Questionnaire for National Security Positions (QNSP). Note: Applicants will be considered ineligible for security clearance processing by the U.S. Department of Energy if non-use of illegal drugs, including marijuana, for 12 months cannot be demonstrated. Testing Designated Position This position is a Testing Designated Position (TDP). The candidate selected for this position will be subject to pre-employment and random drug testing for illegal drugs, including marijuana, consistent with the Controlled Substances Act and the PNNL Workplace Substance Abuse Program.
