Cybersecurity Architect, Cryptography Projects

Your Mission

• Design customer‑centric cryptographic architectures by analyzing security needs, defining optimal solutions, and serving as the primary technical interface for stakeholders.
• Lead system specification, design, and Make/Team/Buy decisions, collaborating with hardware, software, security, and QA teams to deliver compliant, high‑assurance cryptographic solutions.
• Act as the technical authority on cryptography, driving innovation, risk assessments, and best practices to counter evolving threats (e.g., post‑quantum algorithms) and meet regulatory standards (e.g., FIPS, Common Criteria).
• Own technical documentation (HLD/LLD, test plans, user manuals) with end‑to‑end traceability—from requirements to implementation, validation, and deployment—ensuring audit readiness.
• Support sales/marketing teams in technical pre‑sales activities (RFIs/RFPs, demos, PoCs) by translating complex cryptographic concepts into customer‑facing solutions.
• Guide development and testing teams to ensure on‑time delivery, security compliance, and performance optimization of cryptographic implementations.
• Assess and mitigate cryptographic risks (e.g., side‑channel attacks, key management vulnerabilities) while aligning solutions with global security standards and customer‑specific requirements.

What We Are Looking For

• Engineering degree in Telecommunications, Cybersecurity, or related STEM field with 5+ years designing embedded security systems (requirements, architecture, testing).
• 3+ years of experience in at least 3 of the following: model‑based system engineering, Common Criteria certification, cybersecurity solution deployment (firewalls, anti‑DDoS, risk management), IP/IPv6 networking, or embedded Linux.
• Hands‑on expertise in cryptography‑centric design, including classified information handling, crypto governance, EBIOS risk assessments, or translating business needs into technical security solutions.
• Proven experience with security certification frameworks (e.g., Common Criteria) and adherence to technical/governance constraints in high‑assurance environments (classified or regulated sectors).
• Familiarity with tools like Capella, DOORS, Polarion, Jira, or LaTeX is a strong differentiator.
• Passionate about diverse tech integrations, continuous learning, and problem‑solving with strong communication skills.
• Customer‑focused mindset with a track record of pragmatic delivery, cross‑functional collaboration, and bridging technical, business, and operational gaps—experience in knowledge sharing (seminars, webinars, whitepapers) is a plus.
