About Raytheon and Veterans

At Raytheon, we know and value the strategic and tactical talents that only veterans can offer. Our military veterans work across all disciplines, lead our businesses, engineer our products, and lead our supply chain. As a US military veteran, you are uniquely qualified to work at Raytheon. We are seeking ambitious military talent who will bring the skills and experience gained while wearing the uniform to help us create trusted, creative solutions for a safer, more connected world. Your next MISSION starts with Raytheon.

Raytheon is a provider of SkillBridge/HOH Fellowship opportunities for transitioning service members to gain an in-depth understanding of the aerospace and defense business from some of the most respected leaders and engineers in the industry. SkillBridge fellows will not be eligible for any compensation during their fellowship, as they will continue to receive all military pay and benefits. Upon successful completion of this fellowship, you will be well prepared and encouraged to apply for open positions listed on our careers page.

About the Role

Our cybersecurity team is seeking a SkillBridge Candidate to support classified computing environments 100% onsite at our facility in Forest, Mississippi. You will interface and collaborate with the Information System Security Officers (ISSO) and Information Systems Security Managers (ISSM) to ensure adherence to all NISPOM Chapter 8, DAAPM, and JSIG policies. This role offers a unique opportunity to assist with system compliance, auditing, security plan development, and delivering information systems security education and awareness. You will also help investigate information system security violations, prepare reports specifying corrective and preventative actions, and collaborate with facility security teams, program personnel, and government representatives.
