## Description

We are seeking a Senior Platform Security Engineer to lead security efforts across our growing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) portfolio. This role focuses on securing both hardware and increasingly software-driven systems, including autonomy platforms, command-and-control (C2) applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and embedded devices.

As our products scale and become more connected, the attack surface expands across edge, air, and cloud environments. This role ensures security is built into the full system lifecycle-from hardware and firmware to applications and distributed services., * Lead end-to-end product security across UAS platforms, including embedded systems, flight software, APIs, backend services, and cloud infrastructure.

 * Design and implement secure architectures covering device identity, authentication, authorization, and data protection.
 * Perform security assessments across software, firmware, and hardware, including application testing, code review, and adversarial analysis.
 * Build and integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, including automated testing, scanning, and policy enforcement.
 * Partner with software, hardware, and firmware teams to embed security into the development lifecycle.
 * Secure communications, telemetry, and OTA update mechanisms across distributed systems.
 * Develop security tooling to scale protection across multiple hardware platforms.
 * Lead and mentor engineers and drive cross-functional security initiatives.
