Job Summary:

Raytheon is seeking a talented System Security Engineering (SSE) candidate. This person will also serve as a direct interface during important reviews, briefings, and technical exchange/demos. Communication and collaboration with the customer as well as with other engineering disciplines is required to ensure the program-level chief engineers and architectures support the program's needs. The person in this role will lead the analysis of issues that directly affect the system. The successful candidate will have a security conscious approach to take into consideration the systems level effect to resolving complex programs and the ability to convince leadership that the proposed solution is best for the mission (including program cost, schedule, and technical). The individual will work with the program and customer in the development of the system, providing strategic input and planning for the system, applications, architecture, and design in a dynamic, agile development environment. 

What You Will Do

• Implement SSE solutions into RTX products
• Interact with customer to define SSE requirements, solutions, trades, costs, implementation, system impacts, and effectiveness
• Support developing plans and estimates, task execution, project tracking, reporting, and risk identification and mitigation plans
• Plan and guide SSE implementations in customer systems
• Consult and assist program line management with SSE architectures and issues
• Attack threat modeling / Critical Program Information Assessments
• Developing top-level system requirements, and flowing down requirements and implementation concepts to subsystem
• Understanding, and compliance with, DoD technology release and export licensing policies
• Validate secure configuration of routers, switches, firewalls, servers, operating systems, applications, and other assets, using
