  • Serve as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor for Anduril executives and our partners on the security of Anduril products and security
  • Own processes that includes both pre-market and post-market processes engineering teams leverage throughout the product development lifecycle

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience securing embedded/cyber-physical systems, leading security engineering teams, and operating in environments where security failures have real-world consequences

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Familiarity with security architectures of embedded, aerospace, or cyber-physical systems
  • Experience building, testing, and delivering production-ready systems, especially for embedded and/or Linux systems
  • Experience with programmable logic devices and their development tools
  • Knowledge of cyber threat actors, their TTPs, and their implications for weapon and space system operations
