Champion system security architecture development and requirements derivation, decomposition, and flow‑down for Anduril products with varying levels of system design maturity
Design system and solution features with engineering teams to meet and exceed industry‑standard security goals
Identify and prioritize mission‑based cyber risks, translating complex threat landscapes into actionable engineering decisions
Develop, document, orchestrate, and execute system security tests, demonstrations, evaluations, and assessments (including support for customer‑led events)
Develop, guide, and monitor technical documentation to capture trade studies, system designs, analyses, and results related to a system’s security posture
Support technical work products developed by the larger engineering team and support major milestone deliveries (e.g. SRR, SVR, PDR, CDR, TRR, PRR)
