Bristol, United Kingdom ANSON MCCADE Full time
Systems Security Architect

Our client is a leading defense organization. They take pride in their role in supporting the Armed Forces that protect our nations. They partner with governments to collectively work towards a common goal - safeguarding our freedom.

Position: Systems Security Architect
Salary: Up to £65K (Dependent on experience)

What we offer:

  • Company bonus of up to 21% of base salary (based on company performance, subject to annual variations)
  • Pension with a maximum total contribution (employer and employee) of up to 14%
  • 25 days annual leave (plus the option to purchase additional holiday)
  • Possible relocation assistance available
  • Excellent site facilities, including subsidized meals and free parking, among others
  • Outstanding opportunities for career progression and development
  • Hybrid working pattern: Efforts will be made to accommodate a blend of on-site and remote work, where possible.

About the Role:

The Systems Security Architect is responsible for creating a security architecture that involves designing and implementing a range of protective measures for a weapon/missile system. This role is critical in ensuring our Customers have an Assured Capability (AC).

This is achieved by leading complex task packages and working closely with multi-disciplinary engineers across the Engineering Directorate.

What we're looking for:

  • Knowledge of through-life missile/weapon system design and the ability to manage the trade-space in that design
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills (both written and verbal) for effective interaction with multi-disciplinary engineers, technical experts, senior management, and technical Customers
  • Ability to listen, evaluate, and resolve management and technical issues while upholding our client's reputation with the Customer
  • Strong engineering skills with a background in systems engineering, electronics design, embedded software, or firmware being desirable
  • DV cleared or willing and eligible to go through the DV clearance process

What's in it for you:

  • In-depth knowledge of some of our client's latest technology and the opportunity to influence how it is applied in our products
  • Exposure to a broader range of engineering tasks than what is typically undertaken by a single role holder on a standard project
  • Acquisition of skills that would typically require a secondment or departmental transfer
  • Demonstrable experiences for those working towards chartered status

Role Responsibilities:

  • Task package management of activities, utilizing multi-disciplinary engineers across the Engineering Directorate, to design and deliver a comprehensive technical security solution within budget and set timescales.
  • Managing the trade-space to optimize the effectiveness of through-life protective measures without compromising product safety or Customer winning capability.
  • Preparing and maintaining a robust security case, working directly with the UK Customer and its technical advisors to ensure sufficiency of solutions.
  • Undertaking a wide range of systems design and technical leadership tasks to maintain a coherent design across contributing engineering departments (hardware, software, firmware), ensuring integration, testing, and qualification 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 various through-life support scenarios offered to a Customer.
  • Ensuring adherence to the Need to Know principle and implementing sufficient controls to manage knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, as needed.

Join a great team

  • The often complex technical challenges in this area mean no solution is too innovative to be considered.
  • The comparatively small size of the team allows everyone's contribution to be recognized and respected.
  • The team collaborates with a broad range of partners on a variety of subjects, often face to face, building a genuine collective team spirit.
