As a Principal Product Security Engineer, you will lead the application of information assurance, cyber security, and physical security principles throughout the Secure by Design engineering lifecycle. This includes influencing security requirements from concept and design through development, verification, acceptance, and in-service support.

You will be responsible for defining, developing, and maintaining security requirements, ensuring that security considerations are embedded in technical solutions from the outset.

A key aspect of the role will be conducting threat modelling, security risk assessments, and vulnerability analysis to identify potential attack vectors early in the design lifecycle. You will advise engineering teams on the selection and implementation of appropriate security controls and mitigation strategies to reduce risk and support security assurance objectives.

You will also lead the development of the security evidence and assurance documentation required to demonstrate that products meet Secure by Design principles and are suitable for acceptance into service, and ongoing operational use.

• Work closely with the design engineering team to ensure that security considerations and controls are included in the design ahead of production, test and acceptance
• Represent projects at Security Working Groups, providing progress reports and status of the product with regard to Secure by Design and Security Risk profiles
• Undertake functional design and/or provide qualification and evidence for acceptance, fitness for purpose, legislative requirements, and security
• Support the design engineering team by collating and demonstrating technical maturity of the security aspects of the design at formal design reviews
