Bristol An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team of skilled Systems Engineers within The Security Engineering Department who ensure our products are secure during their service life, protect MBDA's IP and safeguard our Customer's through-life military capability. Salary: Circa £ 60,000 depending on experience. Dynamic (hybrid) working: 4 days per week on-site due to workload classification; where possible, we will seek to accommodate a blended approach to on-site and remote working. Security Clearance: British Citizen. Restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may apply. As a minimum and after offer stage, all successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Security Check (SC) clearance, which is managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team. Applicants either holding or willing to undergo Developed Vetting (DV) clearance are ideal, but not mandatory. What we can offer you: Company bonus: Up to £2,500 (based on company performance and will vary year to year) Pension: maximum total (employer and employee) contribution of up to 14% Overtime: opportunity for paid overtime Flexi Leave: Up to 15 additional days Flexible working: We welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements Enhanced parental leave: offers up to 26 weeks for maternity, adoption and shared parental leave -enhancements are available for paternity leave, neonatal leave and fertility testing and treatments Facilities: Fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals, free car parking and much more Healthcare Cash Plan: The Healthcare Cash Plan benefit provides the option to claim cash back on everyday healthcare expenses such as optical, dental, health and wellbeing and more . The opportunity: The Security Engineering Department provides all project teams across the business with skilled resources, Technical Experts and other specialist capabilities to manage the Security Engineering process throughout the Product Life Cycle phases to ensure our products are robust to tampering and resistant to reverse engineering attempts by an Adversary. The Product Security Solution comprises both Technical Protection features embedded at all levels of the design and a robust set of processes and procedures, which form an essential part of our Customer's ability to maintain an Operational Advantage and Freedom of Action. Product Security Engineers are primarily Systems Engineers with a specialist focus on Security Design. Therefore, experience in working in the Security Engineering Domain, whilst beneficial is not essential. A successful candidate need only be a skilled Systems Engineer with an eye for detail and a willingness to learn. Some prior experience with electronics or software design is useful, but again not essential. Specifically, the role will involve: Task package management of activities utilising multi-disciplinary engineers spanning across the Engineering Directorate to design and deliver a comprehensive technical security solution within the budget and timescale set out for the task. Managing the trade-space to maximise the effectiveness of through life protective measures without compromising product safety or Customer winning capability. Preparing and maintaining a robust security case and working directly with the UK Customer and its technical advisors to agree sufficiency of solutions. Undertaking a wide range of systems design and technical leadership tasks, ensuring a coherent design is maintained across the contributing engineering departments (hardware, firmware, software) that can be integrated, tested and qualified to demonstrate the effectiveness of the security solution. Liaising with manufacturing and support teams to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the missile/weapon system is maintained through manufacture and in the various through life support scenarios that may be offered to a Customer. Ensuring the Need to Know principal is adhered to and sufficient controls are in place to manage the knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, where required. Product Security Engineers are required to look at the design at multiple levels: from the Missile as a whole with its multitude of complex interfaces within a wider Weapon System, to the individual electronic components at a printed circuit card level. Such a breadth of influence over and interaction with the design affords the Product Security Engineer a rich and challenging working environment unparalleled elsewhere in the Systems Design Function. You will gain an intimate knowledge of the product functionality and interact with stakeholders across the business from the highly technical to the more commercial. A role in the Security Engineering Department is therefore dynamic and diverse in its activities and provides a real opportunity to be part of a technically complex and essential part of the product capability. What we're looking for from you: Able to listen to, evaluate and resolve technical issues in a manner that upholds MBDAs reputation with our Customer. Strong engineering skills where a background in Systems Engineering is essential and experience in electronics design and/or embedded software or firmware design is desirable. Knowledge of Product or Systems Security is desirable. DV cleared or willing and eligible to go through the DV clearance process.
