· Preparing and maintaining a robust security case and working directly with the UK Customer and its technical advisors to agree sufficiency of solutions.
· Undertaking a wide range of systems design and technical leadership tasks, ensuring a coherent design is maintained across the contributing engineering departments (hardware, software, firmware) that can be integrated, tested and qualified to demonstrate the effectiveness of the security solution.
· Liaising with manufacturing and support teams to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the missile/weapon system is maintained through manufacture and in the various through life support scenarios that may be offered to a Customer.
· Ensuring the Need to Know principal is adhered to and sufficient controls are in place to manage the knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, where required.
About you:
As a Systems Security Architect your skills and qualifications will ideally include:
· Knowledge of through life missile/weapon system design and the ability to understand and manage the trade-space in that design
· Strong interpersonal and communication skills (written and verbal) to interact with multi-disciplinary engineers, technical experts, senior management and technical Customers
· Able to listen, evaluate and resolve management and technical issues in a manner that upholds our reputation with our Customer
· Strong engineering skills where a background in either systems engineering, electronics design, embedded software or firmware is desirable
· DV cleared or willing and eligible to go through the DV clearance process
