For nearly 40 years, Emprise Corporation has been a trusted partner to government and commercial clients, delivering innovative solutions that keep critical operations running at peak performance. As a rapidly growing leader in Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring, we leverage cutting-edge technology and industry expertise to help our customers improve reliability, maximize efficiency, and reduce operational risk.

At Emprise, you'll join a team of talented professionals who are passionate about solving complex challenges and making a measurable impact. We foster a collaborative, innovative culture where your ideas are valued, your contributions matter, and your career can grow alongside our continued success. We're seeking an experienced, hands-on IT Compliance Engineer to evaluate, architect, implement, and maintain secure IT environments supporting our engineering operations.

Reporting directly to the CIO, this position works closely with Engineering, IT Operations, and IT Management to bring systems into alignment with CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 requirements while preserving operational functionality and performance.

This is a hands-on systems engineering role, not a traditional cybersecurity analyst or compliance auditing position. The successful candidate must possess substantial practical experience with enterprise operating systems, networking, infrastructure, and application architectures, along with the ability to translate security requirements into functional, maintainable technical solutions.

Responsibilities:

Systems Assessment and Compliance Engineering

Evaluate engineering IT infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and supporting systems against NIST SP 800171, CMMC Level 2, and established company security requirements.
Analyze existing configurations, architectures, security controls, data flows, and system dependencies to identify compliance gaps and technical vulnerabilities.
Understand the company's CMMC System Security Plan (SSP), including security boundaries, asset classifications, control implementations, and supporting documentation.
Assess Windows, Linux, virtualized, cloud, network, and mobile environments for security and compliance requirements.
Review, implement, validate, and maintain DISA STIG compliance across servers, workstations, network devices, databases, and applications.

Remediation Planning and Architecture

Develop and maintain Plans of Action and Milestones (POA+Ms), where permitted, and detailed remediation plans identifying required actions, priorities, dependencies, timelines, and validation criteria.
Design practical solutions that satisfy security requirements without unnecessarily compromising operational functionality, system availability, or engineering productivity.
Review proposed architectures, remediation plans, and implementation strategies with IT and Engineering Management; incorporate feedback and obtain approval before execution.
Identify opportunities to standardize configurations, reduce complexity, and improve the longterm security and maintainability of engineering environments.
Develop and maintain RMF artifacts.

Implementation and Technical Execution

Work with Engineering and Development teams to execute approved remediation plans, including system configuration, security hardening, access controls, network segmentation, endpoint management, infrastructure modifications.
Configure and troubleshoot Windows and Linux systems, application servers, network services, identity platforms, firewalls, and related infrastructure.
Implement applicable security baselines, including STIGs, Group Policy, Microsoft Intune and MDM policies, and other configuration management mechanisms.
Deploy and tune security controls within Microsoft 365 GCC High, hybrid Active Directory/Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Defender XDR, and associated environments.
Coordinate implementation activities with Engineering and IT Operations to minimize service disruptions.

Compliance Validation and Ongoing Maintenance

Validate completed remediation efforts through technical testing, configuration reviews, vulnerability assessments, and documented evidence.
Maintain accurate system documentation, configuration baselines, network diagrams, asset inventories, and compliance records.
Identify and document required SSP updates resulting from architectural, configuration, or securitycontrol changes; coordinate revisions with IT Management.
Establish sustainable maintenance procedures to prevent configuration drift and ensure continued compliance.
Periodically reassess systems, identify emerging compliance gaps, and recommend corrective actions.

Required Qualifications:

5+ years of substantial handson experience in systems engineering, enterprise infrastructure administration, network engineering, or systems integration, including responsibility for production environments.
Strong working knowledge and practical experience with NIST SP 800171, CMMC2 L2, System Security Plans (SSPs), POA+Ms, and technical securitycontrol implementation.
Advanced understanding of Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, authentication, authorization, PKI, and enterpriselevel administration.
Strong networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, NAT, firewalls, VPNs, routing and TLS/SSL.
Demonstrated ability to configure, troubleshoot, and secure multitier application environments, including web servers, reverse proxies, application servers, and their underlying network dependencies.
Working experience with hybrid Active Directory/Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365 GCC High, Microsoft Intune, MDM, and Microsoft Defender XDR.
Experience implementing system hardening, security baselines, DISA STIGs, vulnerability remediation, and endpoint security controls.
Understanding of security considerations for tablets, mobile devices, and other nontraditional computing endpoints.
Ability to independently troubleshoot complex problems across operating systems, networks, applications, and authentication services.
Demonstrated ability to develop technical implementation plans and personally execute the work required to achieve compliance objectives.
Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills, including the ability to discuss technical tradeoffs with IT/Engineering management and personnel.
Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent substantial professional experience.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance.
Ability to travel occasionally as required.

Preferred Qualifications:

Former ISSM, ISSO, Cybersecurity Engineer, Security Compliance Engineer, or Systems Administrator supporting CMMC and/or RMFauthorized environments.
Experience supporting engineering, software development, or other specialized operational environments subject to federal security requirements.
Experience with VMware, HyperV, Azure, AWS and hybrid cloud environments.
Experience with Linux, Apache, NGINX, IIS, Tomcat, SQL databases, and multitier application architectures.
Proficiency with PowerShell, Bash, scripting, and configuration automation.
Experience with Microsoft Purview, vulnerability management platforms, SIEM systems, and security monitoring tools.
Relevant Microsoft, networking, systems engineering, or security certifications.

Technical Expectations:

Candidates must demonstrate a strong, hands-on foundation in the operating systems, networking, infrastructure, and application architectures they are responsible for securing.

This position requires a thorough understanding of how enterprise systems function, how their components interact, and how to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues. Candidates should expect a technically rigorous interview focused on practical experience, systems architecture, troubleshooting, and real-world problem-solving.

Familiarity with cybersecurity tools, compliance frameworks, or security certifications alone is not sufficient. The successful candidate must possess the underlying systems engineering expertise to independently assess environments, identify deficiencies, architect practical solutions, and personally implement and maintain the necessary correction.

Benefits:

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
Company paid life insurance
Voluntary supplemental insurance
401k/Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP)
Paid vacation, personal/sick days, and holidays
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
