About the Role
You will lead program-protection and anti-tamper engineering for aircraft and mission systems. You will identify critical technologies, develop protection architectures and requirements, conduct threat and trade analyses, support verification, and coordinate protection designs with engineering, suppliers, and government stakeholders.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field
- 10+ years of relevant engineering experience in aerospace, defense, embedded systems, systems security engineering, or mission-critical technologies
- Experience in program protection, anti-tamper engineering, critical-technology protection, or related systems-security engineering
- Experience developing system-security architectures, technical requirements, engineering design artifacts, and protection implementation approaches
- Experience with CPI assessments, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation-risk assessments, or protection trade studies
- Understanding of hardware, firmware, embedded software, and system-integration considerations
- Experience with systems-engineering processes, requirements decomposition, technical-risk management, and verification
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance and required program access
Responsibilities
- Lead critical-program-information identification, criticality assessments, and protection strategies
- Lead anti-tamper threat analysis, protection requirements, architecture development, trade studies, and implementation planning
- Define and decompose program-protection and anti-tamper requirements
- Integrate protection measures across aircraft, mission systems, embedded computing, and ground-control systems
- Develop CPI assessments, Program Protection Implementation Plans, Anti-Tamper Plans, and engineering documentation
- Evaluate protection alternatives for effectiveness, feasibility, cost, performance, complexity, and residual risk
- Develop protection-verification criteria and support laboratory and integration testing
- Provide technical leadership at engineering milestones
- Coordinate with government authorities, suppliers, and engineering teams to resolve risks
