Experience working in R&D within defence, MOD, NATO, government, or other highly regulated environments is highly desirable, especially where you ve supported secure systems, cloud transformation, operational technology, or complex integration programmes previously. They re looking for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing technical direction, and helping organisations modernise their technology environments without compromising security, resilience, or operational effectiveness. If you enjoy architecture work that has genuine strategic importance, exposure to emerging defence technologies, and the opportunity to shape large-scale secure technical environments, this is a role well worth exploring.
