Boeing are seeking an experienced Product Security Engineer to join our growing team in Bristol or Yeovil and help shape the future of integrating security and resiliency across our products and services. Product security engineering is a cross‑cutting engineering function and a critical element of designing, delivering, and maintaining Boeing products and services. Our mission is to influence designs and implement security solutions that protect product integrity. You will join a highly energised team committed to staying ahead of evolving cyber threats, developing innovative security measures, consistent standards, practices, and tools.

As an experienced Product Security Engineer, you will lead development, implementation, and sustainment of product security and resiliency across the requirements, design, build, test, production, operations, and support lifecycle. You will be expected to independently shape technical approaches, influence program‑level decisions, and provide subject matter expertise to internal and external stakeholders. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary, enterprise‑wide community to create and apply best practices, tools, and solutions that protect complex systems, including IT, embedded, and non‑IT environments. This role offers the opportunity to solve high‑impact security challenges, influence next‑generation security engineering, and directly contribute to the resilience and certification posture of Boeing’s commercial and defence offerings.

Ideal candidates bring deep knowledge and experience in system security, systems engineering, safety/airworthiness, security architecture, and verification/validation activities. If you are motivated to lead product security initiatives across complex programs and to influence engineering decisions that increase system resilience, we encourage you to apply.
