Systems Security Engineer (Program Protection)

ABOUT THE TEAM

At Anduril we are developing cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems, command and control platforms, and autonomous systems across air, land, maritime, and space domains. We are looking for Systems Security Engineers to lead a mission-focused, threat-informed approach to Anti-Tamper Engineering for the next generation of Anduril’s autonomous systems. In order to be successful at Anduril, a Systems Security Engineer needs to be fluent in areas of technical leadership, requirements analysis, design rigor, customer & stakeholder engagement and have a hands-on contributor mindset. This role will drive system security engineering principles into design and integration with other systems internal and external to Anduril. In short, this individual will own the execution of all security aspects of product development, production, and sustainment through the entire product lifecycle to ensure product resiliency in both export and US customer contracts.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Identify Critical Program Information (CPI) for various cutting-edge systems, including within the air, land, maritime, and space domains
• Design and implement Anti-Tamper mitigations to deter, detect, delay, and react to reverse engineering attempts
• Develop Anti-Tamper Plans and designs in concert with government personnel to mitigate security risks and maintain system performance
• Integrate holistic Systems Security Engineering processes
• Champion system security architecture development and requirements derivation, decomposition, and flow down for Anduril products with varying levels of system design maturity
• Design system and solution features with engineering teams to meet and exceed industry-standard security goals
• Consult and influence software, RF and electrical engineering architectures, features, and implementations
• Identify and prioritize mission-based security risks, translating complex threat landscapes into actionable engineering decisions
• Develop, document, orchestrate, and execute system security tests, demonstrations, evaluations, and assessments (including support for customer-led events)
• Develop, guide, and monitor technical documentation to capture trade studies, system designs, analyses, and results related to a system's security posture
• Support technical work products developed by the larger engineering team and support major milestone deliveries (e.g. SRR, SVR, PDR, CDR, TRR, PRR).
