Raytheon seeks cyber warriors for tough jobs

Defense contractor Raytheon says it's time to fight fire with fire. The company is looking for a few hundred men and women to patrol the front lines of America's cybersecurity.

"We're aggressively recruiting," Raytheon Vice President of Information Security Solutions Steve Hawkins told FoxNews.com. Raytheon is seeking applicants for more than 30 different job descriptions as it gets serious about dealing with cybersecurity.

"Our Raytheon cyber warriors play offense and defense, and know how the adversary thinks and can adopt their perspective," says the job webpage, which lists positions ranging from "network and security engineers" to "data modeling engineers" to "media sanitation specialists."

Hawkins says the company has hired 50 to 60 people so far this year, and wants to take on 150 more cyber warriors by December. The company is looking for IT talent with strong computer skills, degrees in computer science, math or engineering preferred, the ability to pass government security clearances and U.S. citizenship.
