Cyber Security Engineer - Cyber & Autonomous Systems Team

Reference: drvv7p8cgm210xylbg28

We are seeking a Cyber Security Engineer to join a specialist Cyber and Autonomous Systems Team. In this role, you will help protect complex, mission-critical systems that integrate software, hardware, networks, sensors and autonomous capabilities. You will contribute throughout the system lifecycle, from early concept and requirements development through to design, implementation, testing, deployment and ongoing assurance. The position offers the opportunity to work on challenging technical problems where security, safety, resilience and operational performance are closely connected.

Your responsibilities will include conducting threat, risk and vulnerability assessments; developing security requirements and architectures; and designing practical controls for embedded, cloud, networked and operational technology environments. You will support secure software and systems engineering practices, review technical designs, assess supplier and third-party security considerations, and help define appropriate security test strategies. You will also contribute to penetration testing, security verification and validation, incident investigation, remediation planning, and the production of clear technical documentation. Working closely with engineers, architects, project teams and customers, you will promote security-by-design and provide proportionate, evidence-based advice throughout delivery.

Applicants should have professional experience in cyber security engineering, systems security, product security or a closely related discipline, together with a solid understanding of secure architecture, risk management, vulnerability management and security assurance. Experience with autonomous, robotic, embedded, aerospace, defence, industrial or other safety-critical systems would be advantageous. Familiarity with relevant standards, secure development frameworks, network protocols, operating systems, scripting or automation tools is desirable. You should be analytical, collaborative and able to communicate complex security matters to both technical and non-technical audiences. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgement, attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving security issues. Eligibility for relevant security clearance may be required.
