Job Description
Our Charter: Deter. Prevent. Detect. Respond.

Our Mission: Safeguard the United States' most critical technologies from exploitation to maintain our battlefield pre-eminence.

Our Need: Creative and innovative engineers with prior systems, hardware, or software engineering experience with the potential to outthink world class reverse engineers.

BAE Systems is currently seeking creative, innovative problem solvers to be part of a system security engineering focused group. BAE Systems uses state-of-the-art technology, advanced mathematics, and physics in novel ways to protect our systems and provide our customers with capability that endures. Our engineers design solutions that achieve the optimum balance between product capability and defense-in-depth security. They apply all the lessons learned to our model-based design approach and frequently advance security state-of-the-art. They take their creative and innovative spirit to the extreme by playing the part of adversary through their identification of attack vectors. They propose countermeasures that provide the greatest protection at the best value for the system's entire lifecycle.

Candidates should be capable of working in a team environment designing and implementing innovative protection schemes with rapidly evolving technologies used in various applications throughout the company.

BAE Systems' salary and benefits include 401(k) matching, employee discount programs, and work schedule flexibility such as alternating Fridays off.

  • Implement and test security countermeasures according to the guidance provided by the U.S. Government
  • Work with Security State of the Art (S-SOTA) technologies
  • Provide our customers with sophisticated, defense-in-depth security solutions
Because of the need for consistent, in person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed fulltime on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time.

Required Education, Experience, & Skills

Additional critical skills include:

  • Validating and Verifying the delivered solution
  • Leading an Engineering Team

Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills
Preferred Skills: We are very interested in candidates with any of the following experience:
  • Cryptographic algorithm implementation
  • Configuring security features of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) S-SOTA components
  • Firmware development for COTS S-SOTA components such as Xilinx or Microsemi FPGAs
  • Applying secure coding practices, securing operating systems, and virtualization
  • Implementing and configuring security protocols
  • Model-Based Systems Engineering using Cameo or MagicDraw
  • Developing positive customer relationships
  • Product design development and design analysis for manufacturability and maintainability
