Senior Principal Systems Security Engineer

$145.05k - $246.58k

BAE Systems USA

Job Title

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. In a modern approach to "Spy vs Spy," 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. BAE Systems is currently seeking creative, innovative problem solvers who are able to analyze, assess, anticipate, defend, and react to current and future attacks. 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. Our Systems Engineers do a lot of amazing things, but for this role in particular you will:

  • Design security architectures based on requirements from your analysis of adversary threats and proposed countermeasures
  • 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
  • Lead a Team or Section

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 full- time on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time. Required Education, Experience, & Skills This role involves understanding systems engineering techniques and processes and requires a bachelor's degree plus 10 or more years of work experience. Additional critical skills include:

  • Writing System Requirements
  • Defining System Architectures
  • Integrating Hardware and Software
  • Validating and Verifying the delivered solution
  • Leading an Engineering Team

Preferred Education, Experience, & 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

Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $145049 - $246584 Please note: This range is based on our market pay structures. However, individual salaries are determined by a variety of factors including, but not limited to: business considerations, local market conditions, and internal equity, as well as candidate qualifications, such as skills, education, and experience.

Regular employees scheduled to work 20+ hours per week are offered: health, dental, and vision insurance; health savings accounts; a 401(k) savings plan; disability coverage; and life and accident insurance. We also have an employee assistance program, a legal plan, and other perks including discounts on things like home, auto, and pet insurance. Our leave programs include paid time off, paid holidays, as well as other types of leave, including paid parental, military, bereavement, and any applicable federal and state sick leave. Employees may participate in the company recognition program to receive monetary or non-monetary recognition awards. Other incentives may be available based on position level and/or job specifics.
