We deliver solutions that help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression, creating a safer, more secure world. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense.

The RTX Product Cybersecurity Center (PCsC) is a leader in securing RTX products, enabling resilience, trust, and compliance throughout the product lifecycle. We foster a cyber aware engineering culture by integrating security controls, modern tooling, and supply chain integrity practices into every aspect of development. Through collaboration, automation, and proactive risk management, we strengthen the foundation that protects RTX customers, partners, and mission critical aerospace and defense systems from evolving global threats.

As part of the PCsC, the FOSS Governance and Risk Management function provides enterprise level cybersecurity oversight for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). This organization ensures that every open-source component used across RTX engineering and digital technology workflows is governed by robust security policies, monitored for vulnerabilities, and supported by well defined incident response processes. These capabilities improve software supply chain resilience, reduce enterprise risk exposure, and ensure compliance with emerging regulations related to FOSS usage, traceability, and secure lifecycle management.

There is an exciting opportunity for a Sr Principal Cybersecurity Engineer (P5) specializing in FOSS governance, vulnerability management, and incident response. This role is highly visible and will define enterprise processes, influence cybersecurity governance direction, and enable scalable, compliant, and secure FOSS usage across RTX. The Sr Principal Engineer will partner closely with Cyber Engineering, FOSS ecosystem teams, legal, supply chain, program engineering, DT platform owners, and senior leadership to establish end to end governance that meets regulatory, business, and security requirements in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

This is a full‑time remote position.

What You Will Do

• Define and maintain enterprise FOSS cybersecurity governance (policies, standards, lifecycle controls, decision frameworks).

• Establish FOSS vulnerability management requirements (ingestion, approved use, patching, ratings, escalation).

• Design and operationalize the enterprise process for identifying, triaging, and remediating FOSS vulnerabilities, aligned to RTX cyber risk management practices and industry guidance (NIST SSDF, SLSA, EO 14028, etc.).

• Develop and maintain a FOSS cybersecurity incident response model, enabling consistent enterprise coordination, rapid threat assessment, containment actions, and communication workflows.

• Ensure governance controls seamlessly integrate with ingestion pipelines, scanning workflows, SBOM generation, and enterprise artifact management.

• Partner with legal, supply chain, platform owners, and cybersecurity governance to align FOSS policies with licensing requirements, regulatory expectations, and software supply chain controls.

• Provide expert guidance to programs and engineering teams, enabling risk based decision making and supporting enterprise adherence to FOSS governance requirements.

• Guide teams in effective Software Bill of Material (SBOM) use to support risk‑based decisions and compliance with FOSS governance.

• Develop technical documentation, including governance models, workflows, diagrams, policy standards, and detailed process guidance.

• Travel as needed (estimated 10–15%).

• Expertise in software supply chain security, FOSS vulnerability analysis, threat triage, or incident response processes.

• Practical understanding of SCA tooling, SBOM technologies, and enterprise monitoring of open‑source components.

• Experience collaborating with cross disciplinary teams (legal, supply chain, engineering, DT, cyber governance).

• Strong technical writing skills for creating policies, workflows, and governance documentation.

• Experience with DevSecOps

• Experience with Agile development such as Scrum, Continuous Integration, Automated Testing, etc.

• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
