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.
BAE Systems is currently seeking creative, innovative problem solvers, specifically those with an embedded software engineering background, who are able to analyze, assess, anticipate, defend, and react to current and future attacks. 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.
