Job Description
Our Charter: Deter. Impede. Detect. Respond.
Our Mission: Safeguard the United States' most critical technologies from exploitation to maintain our battlefield pre-eminence.
Our Need: Creative and innovative engineers with prior systems, hardware, or software engineering experience with the potential to outthink world class reverse engineers.

In a modern approach to "Spy vs Spy," BAE Systems uses state-of-the-art technology, advanced mathematics, and physics in novel ways to protect our systems and provide our customers with capability that endures. Our engineers design solutions that achieve the optimum balance between product capability and defense-in-depth security. They apply all the lessons learned to our model-based design approach and frequently advance security state-of-the-art. They take their creative and innovative spirit to the extreme by playing the part of adversary through their identification of attack vectors. They propose countermeasures that provide the greatest protection at the best value for the system's entire lifecycle.
Candidates should be capable of working in a team environment designing and implementing innovative protection schemes with rapidly evolving technologies used in various applications throughout the company.
