The Avionics Way captures the essence of what makes our employees special, and by extension, our organization. It’s comprised of 5 core identifiers - Pioneers, Problem Solvers, Accountable, Collaborative, and Customer Focused - that together form a robust, working framework for our continued success. Beyond a philosophy, the Avionics Way is our guide to daily practices. It provides a clear, actionable model to help employees, at all levels, realize their ambitions through outsized contributions to their teams and the company.

This model clearly defines expectations for performance at all levels of the organization, as well as establishes specific actions and modes of working that reinforce our philosophy on the path to achieving our goals.

We're looking for a senior security software engineer to define and own the security architecture for our avionics-connected systems and the supporting infrastructure behind them, from bare-metal Linux hosts to Kubernetes-orchestrated services. You will set the security design baseline, guide engineering teams through airworthiness security compliance, and make sure security controls are built into the architecture rather than added afterward.

• Define end-to-end security architecture for avionics and avionics-adjacent systems, including threat modeling, security zoning, trust boundaries, and data-flow protections.
• Lead airworthiness security risk assessment activities including security scope definition, threat scenario analysis, and determination of Security Assurance Levels.
• Architect and validate controls that meet SAL 2 objectives, and produce supporting evidence for certification authorities and customers.
• Work with systems, software, and safety teams to ensure security measures do not compromise safety objectives, and to justify the security posture of DAL E and other lower-assurance components and their interfaces to higher-DAL systems.
• Design and harden bare-metal Linux deployments: secure boot , kernel hardening, SELinux/App Armor policy, minimal attack surface images, disk encryption, TPM integration, and secure update mechanisms.
• Architect Kubernetes security for on-prem environments: RBAC, network policy, admission control, pod security standards, secrets management, image signing and provenance, runtime threat detection, and multi-tenant isolation.
• Define cryptographic architecture, including key management, PKI, certificate lifecycle, and secure communications (TLS, mTLS, data-at-rest protection).
• Establish secure SDLC and supply chain practices: SBOMs, dependency and container scanning, signed artifacts, and build pipeline integrity.
• Conduct architecture and design reviews, and advise on penetration testing, vulnerability management, and incident response planning.
• Mentor engineers and communicate security risk…
