Ground System Security Design Engineer
We are seeking a Ground System Security Design Engineer to support the development, integration and protection of complex ground-based systems. In this role, you will contribute to the security design of infrastructure, networks, applications and operational technologies that support critical mission services. You will work across the system lifecycle, from concept and requirements definition through architecture, implementation, verification and ongoing improvement, ensuring that security is embedded by design.
Your responsibilities will include producing and maintaining security architectures, design documents, technical requirements, threat models and risk assessments. You will identify vulnerabilities and attack paths, define appropriate security controls, and support the implementation of measures such as network segmentation, identity and access management, encryption, secure configuration, monitoring and resilience. You will collaborate with systems engineers, software developers, infrastructure specialists, operations teams and external suppliers to ensure that security requirements are understood, traceable and effectively delivered. You may also support security testing, design reviews, assurance activities, incident investigations and the resolution of technical findings.
The successful candidate will have experience in systems security engineering, cyber security architecture or a related discipline, ideally within a regulated, safety-critical or mission-critical environment. You should be able to interpret security standards and apply recognised frameworks, risk-management methods and secure engineering principles to practical designs. Knowledge of networks, operating systems, cloud or virtualised environments, security monitoring and vulnerability management is desirable. Strong analytical, documentation and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to explain complex security matters to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in cyber security, systems engineering or information assurance would be advantageous. The role may require eligibility for appropriate security clearance.
