About The Position

The Software Security Sensors and Effectors (S3E) Department is hiring a Senior Software Security Engineer in Tucson, Arizona. The role supports the development of security software for deployed missile systems and calls for understanding real-time software design and the performance implications of system security implementations. The engineer will participate in the design, development, integration, and testing of real-time missile software, applying system security principles to missile applications. The role involves developing C and C++ applications across computing platforms, collaborating with Systems Security Engineering to define and implement requirements, and working in a common development environment. The engineer will connect detailed source-code solutions to the broader missile system and interface with customers to review technical designs and support verification of system maturity. This is an onsite U.S.-based role in Tucson and requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain the required U.S. government security clearance and program access.
