About your next Challenge as a Cybersecurity Group Leader:

The L3 MAPPS Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) running on board various military ships throughout the world is built using software developed by L3Harris MAPPS and integrates with almost all onboard equipment.

The group leader leads all cyber security aspects of the IPMS product development, from the bids process, through development, and including field support. Your team will safeguard the cyber security of the product in coordination with all the engineering teams to integrate and automate security at every level of the software and hardware development lifecycle. Given the wide implications of cyber security, this role extends outside product development, and so, the ability to work and influence many other departments within the organization is fundamental. The main duties of this role are to lead the cyber team development effort and to work with other engineering stakeholders to deliver a secured solution. As a cyber security expert, the ability to define, explain, and clarify the cyber requirements and concepts to other groups is fundamental to success.

Required Skills and Experiences:

• At least 15 years of combined experience in team leadership, software and cyber security acquired specifically in the context of product development.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate the current security posture of the product, modify architectural components from a strategic level, lead and execute tactical and targeted changes to the product overall architecture in order to close down the product attack surface.
• Good communicator able to present cyber security concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Advanced knowledge of security concepts in C++, C#, and Python.
• Advanced Knowledge of Static and Dynamic Code analysis.
• Advanced knowledge of secure software development.
• Advanced knowledge of network infrastructure design, architecture and network segmentation (IEEE 802.1Q and IEEE 802.1X).
