Benefits & conditions

Universal Avionics is looking for a \nSystems and Network Security Engineer to help keep that environment secure, resilient, and running.\n \n This is not a role where infrastructure and cybersecurity live in separate worlds.\n \n You’ll work across servers, networks, cloud environments, identity, security tooling, disaster recovery, and the systems our teams rely on every day. You’ll solve problems when something breaks, strengthen the environment before something does, and help us make smarter security decisions as our technology evolves.\n \n If you like understanding how everything connects, finding the weak points, and building systems that are harder to break and easier to trust, we want to talk to you.\n \n \nWhat You’ll Do\n \n \n \n

  • Own and strengthen critical server, network, cloud, and hybrid infrastructure\n
  • Administer and troubleshoot switches, routers, firewalls, wireless networks, VPNs, servers, virtualization, identity services, and core network services\n
  • Design security solutions that help us identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats\n
  • Deploy and manage security technologies including SIEM, DLP, IPS/IDS, and endpoint detection and response\n
  • Apply identity-based access controls and zero-trust principles across on-premises and cloud environments\n
  • Evaluate vulnerabilities, conduct risk assessments, and help build security into new and existing technology\n
  • Monitor infrastructure health, availability, and security and respond when something isn’t right\n
  • Strengthen backup, recovery, system hardening, monitoring, and incident-response practices\n
  • Stay current on emerging threats and translate what you’re seeing into practical action\n
  • Mentor IT Support Specialists and help solve the technical problems that need another level of expertise\n
  • Partner across the business to make security part of everyday technology decisions\n, Build systems people can depend on. Hold a high standard for security, reliability, and impact.\n \n \nWhy Universal Avionics?\n \n For more than 40 years, Universal Avionics has been solving hard problems in aviation.\n \n Today, we’re building the next version of UA. We’re evolving how we work and how we use technology so we can move faster, operate smarter, and build what aviation needs next.\n \n That requires an IT environment capable of moving with us.\n \n \nSecure What Matters. Build What’s Next.\n \n Join Universal Avionics and help build the secure technology foundation behind the future of flight.\n \n Universal Avionics’ products and technology are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, including but not limited to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR). As part of our compliance process, we inquire about work authorization and citizenship status to ensure alignment with these regulations.\n \n Universal Avionics Systems Corporation is dedicated to providing and promoting equal employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, gender, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, disability, veteran status or any other protected factor in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws.\n \n PI287082300”, “hiringOrganization”: {“@type”: “Organization”, “name”: “Universal Avionics”}, “jobLocation”: {“address”: {“addressCountry”: “United States”, “streetAddress”: “Not specified”, “@type”: “PostalAddress”, “postalCode”: “85756”, “addressLocality”: “Tucson”, “addressRegion”: “Arizona - AZ”}, “@type”: “Place”}, “industry”: “”, “identifier”: {“@type”: “PropertyValue”, “name”: “Universal Avionics”, “value”: “287082300”}, “baseSalary”: {“@type”: “MonetaryAmount”, “currency”: “USD”, “value”: {“@type”: “QuantitativeValue”, “value”: “Competitive”, “unitText”
