- Code Signing & Update Security: Own software signing infrastructure and verification workflows to ensure authenticity and integrity of firmware, flight software, and field updates.
- Key Management & Provisioning: Design secure key generation, storage, rotation, and provisioning systems across development, manufacturing, and deployed environments.
- Secure Communications: Implement and review authenticated and encrypted communication channels between vehicle, ground systems, and internal subsystems.
- Threat Modeling & Hardening: Conduct threat modeling and security reviews across the software stack. Identify vulnerabilities and implement practical mitigations aligned with mission constraints.
- Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with embedded, avionics, hardware, and infrastructure teams to embed security principles into system architecture from initial design through deployment.
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related STEM field
- 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering with exposure to applied cryptography or security engineering

Emails, IMs and verbal interactions are logical, drive clarity, and detailed enough to eliminate ambiguity.
