Principal System Security Engineer

Role Overview

The Principal System Security Engineer will support engineering, integrating, and deploying trustworthy secure platforms that resist cyber, reverse engineering, and supply chain threats. The role requires a systems engineering prospective to support development system architectures for secure solutions.

What You Will Do

Manage and control priorities, scope, schedule, and cost to baselines by proactively monitoring program/task performance across larger activities. Independently derive system-level requirements based on mission requirements and defines plan and approach to solve complex problems.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have a curiosity-driven approach to solving complex, industry and customer-driven problems as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
