Recruiting for this role ends on 10/01/2026.

Work you'll do

As a Cyber Space Lead Product Engineer on the Cyber Defense & Resilience team, you will be responsible for:

• Defining target architectures, interfaces, trust boundaries, and engineering patterns across space, ground, and user segments, with security by design embedded throughout.
• Establishing engineering standards, release-readiness criteria, and architecture governance to support sound technical decisions and protect system integrity.
• Leading cross-functional technical integration across cyber, software, hardware, artificial intelligence, and systems engineering teams to align research, development, and production delivery.
• Designing repeatable deployment approaches that support multiple client satellites, mission profiles, and constellation environments as the offering scales.
• Overseeing system-level test strategy across integration, security validation, mission readiness, operational acceptance, and failure analysis.
• Translating frameworks such as SPARTA, NIST, ATO, STIG, and CMMC into executable delivery controls and advising clients and executives on technical tradeoffs and product direction.

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to lead projects or workstreams

• Experience leading multidisciplinary delivery teams spanning cyber, software, hardware, artificial intelligence, and systems engineering through production deployment and operations
• Experience designing secure architectures across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and embedded or space-based environments, including interface definition, trust boundaries, and failure mode analysis
• Experience authoring reference architectures, design patterns, or technical standards adopted across multiple teams or client environments and implementing controls aligned to NIST, ATO, STIG, CMMC, or comparable frameworks
• Ability to travel 10%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve.
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available.

Preferred:

• Experience supporting commercial go-to-market activities for a product or platform, including pilots, co-development, or first-of-kind client deployments
• Experience supporting satellite mission operations or aerospace delivery programs, including embedded or real-time system integration
• Experience deploying artificial intelligence or machine learning models in constrained environments
• Experience applying SPARTA threat frameworks to architecture, testing, or security design
• Experience with one or more of the following: C, POSIX, real-time operating systems, Python, PyTorch, Docker, Grafana, MQTT, Node.js, GitHub Actions, automated security scanning, or containerized deployments
• Active Secret or higher security clearance

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled.
