Job description

Secmation is looking for an experienced Cybersecurity Software Engineer who has developed software in Defense, medical devices, automotive, robotics, or other complex systems. Secmation is a very successful cybersecurity technology company; we are not an IT company. We develop software solutions that implement advanced technologies to protect the next generation of autonomous, intelligent systems with multiple active Defense projects covering topics such as security of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), small satellites, and advanced manufacturing systems.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment as a self-starter or part of a small team and execute complex development tasks with limited supervision.
• U.S. citizenship required. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain security clearance due to contractual requirements.

Preferred Experience and Certifications:

• Progressive experience developing and implementing computer and network security systems using Linux and real-time operating systems.
