About the Role
You will design, implement, document, and continuously improve the technical security controls that protect infrastructure, engineering environments, manufacturing systems, and sensitive aerospace data. In this hands-on security engineering role, you will take ownership of an evolving information security program, strengthening and maturing technical controls while driving risk management and framework alignment efforts. You will translate regulatory requirements into practical, scalable controls embedded within systems and maintain the documentation and evidence needed to support audits and compliance activities. You will work across IT, software engineering, manufacturing, and operations to implement scalable security guardrails that let teams move fast without compromising risk posture. You should be ready to stay focused, move quickly, self-direct, and learn on the fly.
