Deliver operational cybersecurity, including SIEM monitoring, incident response and vulnerability management.
Collaborate with CSIRO and NASA/JPL teams to maintain strict security compliance.
About CSIRO
As Australia's national science agency, CSIRO is solving the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology. Many of our iconic innovations were once considered impossible until someone, just like you, joined us and took on the challenge. Visit CSIRO.au for more information.
The opportunity
The Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) supports ground-based spacecraft telecommunications as part of the international National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Deep Space Network (DSN), under contractual arrangements between NASA and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
The position is a member of the Systems Engineering Group, which provides a range of Engineering & Operational support services at the CDSCC in accordance with the requirements of NASA’s Deep Space Network and closely interacts with the ICT and Engineering teams.
As a Cybersecurity Officer within the Systems Engineering Group, you will play a hands-on role delivering operational cyber‑defensive activities to protect mission and flight systems. Working in a high‑assurance environment, you will help safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical space communications while collaborating closely with CSIRO engineers and international partners, including NASA/JPL.
Your high-level duties will include:
Deliver operational cybersecurity and incident response - Monitor SIEM, EDR and network activity, investigate security incidents, conduct forensic analysis, and coordinate response with NASA/JPL SOC teams.
Ensure compliance with NASA and DSN security requirements - Maintain adherence to stringent cybersecurity policies and controls through audits, documentation, access management, and ongoing assurance activities.
Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities - Conduct vulnerability scanning and security testing across mission and flight systems, and work with system administrators to remediate risks.
Strengthen detection and threat awareness capabilities - Perform post‑incident analysis, research emerging threats, and continuously improve detection, prevention and defensive controls.
Support secure system operations and access management - Manage user onboarding, privileged access, VPN and web access requests, inventories, and pre-connection security assessments for systems and hardware.
Engage stakeholders and report on security posture - Collaborate with CSIRO engineers and NASA/JPL stakeholders, support staff training, attend security forums, and deliver regular operational security reports.
Role particulars
Location: Tidbinbilla – Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC), ACT
Salary: AU$109,364 – $143,830 plus Tracking Station Allowance of $139.16 per week, plus up to 15.4% superannuation (also eligible for fleet transport to & from site within a defined Canberra region)

Reference: 102680
As the successful candidate, you will bring:

Demonstrated knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Linux) and networking protocols.
Demonstrated experience using a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform.
Willingness to continuously learn, adapt, and apply new skills within changing environments.
Ability to work effectively, independently, or as part of a diverse multi-skilled team.
Desirable (How to Stand Out)
Hands-on experience conducting penetration testing to identify system vulnerabilities and test security controls.
Experience using security tools including: Rapid7, Nessus, Nmap and Wireshark.
Ability to stay current with evolving threats and security technologies.
Developing new ways to test system weaknesses.
Programming/scripting skills (Python, Bash etc.).
Automation and exploit understanding.
Exposure to threat hunting and behavioural detection techniques.
