Job description

Product Security Digital Engineering Expert – Defence & Aerospace

£101.85 per hour (Umbrella) | Reading - 50% onsite | 6-Month Contract | SC required as a minimum/DV Clearance preferred

We’re recruiting for an experienced Product Security Digital Engineering Expert to support the development and integration of digital engineering solutions across complex UK defence and aerospace programmes.

This opportunity is suited to a specialist with a strong background in Product Security / Systems Security Engineering, combined with an understanding of Systems Engineering methodologies, digital engineering tools and the wider engineering lifecycle.

This is not a traditional IT Cybersecurity, Information Assurance or GRC role. The focus is on engineering security into complex products and systems, and developing the digital workflows, models and integrations that support Product Security activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate Product Security engineering requirements into effective digital engineering solutions and workflows.

• Define digital processes supporting security requirements, threat and risk assessments, and security assurance.

• Establish traceability between security risks, requirements, system architectures and verification evidence.

• Support the integration of Product Security activities with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), requirements management and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environments.

• Contribute to the design and implementation of digital Product Security solutions, including Acuity STREAM where applicable.

• Develop and support proofs of concept and pilot solutions to improve digital Product Security capabilities.

• Collaborate with Product Security, Systems Engineering and technical stakeholders to develop, validate and implement digital solutions.

• Support the development of digital engineering standards, processes and governance.

Essential Experience

• Experience in Product Security, Cybersecurity Engineering or closely related disciplines.

• Strong knowledge of Product Security / Systems Security Engineering principles.

• Experience of security requirements, risk assessments and security assurance within complex engineering environments.

• Understanding of Systems Engineering processes, system architectures and engineering lifecycles.

• Ability to translate security engineering needs into digital solutions, workflows and integrated processes.

• Demonstrable architecture experience within UK defence, MOD or aerospace environments.

• Strong communication skills and experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

• A relevant degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity or a related discipline.

Desirable Experience

• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and SysML.

• DOORS Next, Cameo, Rhapsody or equivalent engineering tools.

• Acuity STREAM.

• Integration of security tools with requirements management, architecture models and Digital Thread solutions.

• Knowledge of aerospace and defence Product Security standards and practices.

• Relevant Product Security or Cybersecurity professional qualifications.

Contract Details

• Rate: £101.85 per hour (Umbrella)

• Location: Reading, Berkshire

• Onsite requirement: Minimum 50%

• Duration: 6 months initially

• Security clearance: Active SC clearance is mandatory; DV clearance is preferred.
