Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Leonardo Full time

Job Description:

Cyber Security Specialist

The Opportunity:

  • Are you passionate about cyber security?
  • Do you enjoy solving complex problems?
  • Would you thrive in a collaborative environment?
  • Do you want to apply your skills to a complex problem domain?

We are recruiting for a number of Cyber Security Specialists, at all levels. Wherever you go, you will work on some of the most challenging and rewarding security problems in the UK, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products.

Your work at Leonardo will see you take the lead in solving customer problems in an agile, innovative and team-centric manner. There is a clear and defined pathway to achieving chartership, NCSC certification and greater responsibility.

What You'll Do as a Cyber Security Specialist:

Our Cyber Security Specialists operate at three levels:

  • As a Specialist, you will deliver work as part of a larger team, under the guidance of a more senior Specialist.
  • As a Senior Specialist, you will often take the lead on a technical delivery or small to medium-sized project.
  • As a Principal Specialist, you will be considered a technical expert in cyber security.

Across all levels, Cyber Security Specialists can be expected to take part in the following activities:

  • Working with solution architects and engineers to ensure that systems are Secure by Design and satisfy relevant accreditation requirements.
  • Conducting security risk assessments for products, systems, site and network architectures, presenting results to senior management or customers, in a clear and understandable manner.
  • Reviewing documentation such as design documentation (HLD/LLD), system specifications, network diagrams, to identify potential vulnerabilities and propose appropriate security controls in either an IT or OT environment.
  • Writing security requirements to flow down to engineering teams, overseeing implementation.
  • Participate in wider customer forums, to review security topics.

Key Responsibility Areas:

  • Relate - Our customers and their concerns are at the heart of what we do. As a specialist you will actively listen and empathise with our customers to build rapport.
  • Understand – We add value by solving problems. As a specialist you will define potential solutions to problems based on your experience and technical knowledge – sometimes with only limited information to hand.
  • Assess – At Leonardo we adopt a risk-based approach to any security problem. As a specialist you will identify, measure and analyse security risks and explain to customers how these risks could impact their business objectives.
  • Treat – Resolving risks is the technical core of our offering. As a specialist you will assist in defining appropriate and proportionate security solutions across people, process and technology, and align to the identified risk picture through the creation of security architecture visions, patterns and designs.
  • Assure – Having confidence in security maturity is a key requirement especially in heavily regulated industries. As a specialist you will assist in defining and performing security assessments that span people, process and technology, and recommend remediations that arise from those assessments.
  • Develop – All our offerings are based on a core set of products. As a specialist you will help in the technical development of our products to be used across our customer sectors.

While the role has hybrid working opportunities, there will be a need for working on-site at our Leonardo Edinburgh office. This is to enable collaboration with colleagues and to work closely with our customers.

What We Need from You:

You really must have:

  • A degree in an engineering or related technical discipline.
  • A passion for cyber security.
  • Technical knowledge across hardware, firmware, software.
  • Understanding of the engineering lifecycle.
  • Ability to listen, understand and communicate effectively (both written and verbal) with internal and external customers.
  • Ability to be self-directed, conducting both independent learning and collaborating with other specialists/engineers to develop solutions that will increase the cyber posture of Leonardo products.

It would be nice if you had:

  • Knowledge of MOD Secure by Design process and practices.
  • Experience in application of NIST Risk Management Framework and Special Publications.
