MBDA is a leading defence organisation. We are proud of the role we play in supporting the Armed Forces who protect our nations. We partner with governments to work together towards a common goal, defending our freedom.
You'll be involved in identifying security risks within complex weapon systems, products and solutions and ensuring that those risks are addressed by the implementation and delivery of effective and balanced security measures. You'll also assist in the timely integration of information assurance activities with the weapon system engineering, design, manufacturing and support programmes.
There will also be opportunity to contribute to trade studies related to weapon system information security and provide security documentation and evidence to meet MOD security assurance requirements.
Our work spans the entire systems engineering lifecycle of delivered weapon systems including specification of security requirements and development of security architectures, as well as developing security architectures to enable sustainable evolution of security architectures through life.
Further work could include supporting hardware, electronics and software developments, contributing to corporate information assurance knowledge and capability and maintaining knowledge of technology development and implications for information security as well as working with manufacturing to ensure that the security design is repeatable through the production chain, and the product is secure through the delivery and return chains.
This role will give you exposure to each of the stages of the product development life-cycle, a good understanding the required behaviours from a variety of viewpoints, architecture design and specification, integration, test, and analysis of achieved performance. There is potential to travel nationally and internationally as well as an opportunity to work in a lab-based environment. There will also be further opportunities to develop practical cyber security skills such as "pen testing", "capability and vulnerability analysis" in the new cyber lab. Other things that this role can provide is an opportunity to engage with stakeholders, engineering teams and sub-contractors to provide direction, guidance and support on acceptable and balanced information security solutions, Liaison with customers, assurance teams and national/ international technical authorities. You will also gain experience in generation of information security Risk Assessments, Risk Treatment Plans and Risk Management and Assurance Documents.
