Job Description

Senior Product Security Engineer

Reston, Virginia, United States

Secret Clearance Required

We're hiring a Senior Product Security Engineer to help secure the next generation of cutting-edge defense technologies.

This role is all about protecting hardware — not just the software that runs on it. You’ll work hands-on with advanced micro-electronics, develop innovative security tools, and simulate real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities before adversaries do.

This position is part of a high-impact team supporting the Intelligence Community. You'll play a critical role in shaping how advanced systems are protected from the ground up — from circuit boards to manufacturing processes.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the development and refinement of security features across key hardware products
  • Collaborate with engineers to design solutions that meet or exceed industry security standards
  • Simulate attacks on physical systems and components to identify potential vulnerabilities
  • Work closely with manufacturing and ops teams to ensure secure handling and operational practices
  • Address and remediate design or process weaknesses uncovered through testing and research

What You’ll Bring

  • Hands-on experience with side channel attack techniques and mitigation strategies
  • Knowledge of PCB design toolchains (e.g., Altium or similar)
  • Understanding of PCB fabrication techniques and hardware engineering workflows
  • Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks)
  • Experience using thermal analysis tools (e.g., Ansys)
  • Understanding of anti-tamper methods and reverse engineering defenses
  • Active U.S. Secret security clearance (required)

    • Bonus Points If You Have

  • Experience with programmable logic devices and related development tools
  • Familiarity with security architectures in micro-electronics, EW, aerospace, or cyber-physical systems
  • Experience with highly accelerated lifecycle testing (HALT)
    • Create a job alert for this search
