Job Summary

In this role, you develop the Cyber Security architecture for avionics systems in helicopters, defining security requirements to detect and mitigate cyber threats. You work on certifications for civil and military projects, overseeing compliance and safety measures.

Your role in the team

As part of our Avionics Systems Department in the Development Office, you will be involved in the development of avionics architectures for civilian and military helicopters.
Since helicopters pose a safety risk and its potential impact on flight safety and the mission must be managed, the avionics architecture must provide measures for protection against and detection of potential cyberattacks.
Your task as a Cyber Security Architect will therefore be to define and develop the cyber security component of the avionics architecture in coordination with the helicopter's avionics architect.
You will perform this activity in a civilian environment with the aim of EASA certification of a new helicopter or the approval of a modification to an existing helicopter, or in a military environment with the goal of cybersecurity certification of a helicopter by the respective certification authority.
Formalization of the integration of the engineering Cyber-Security processes into the overarching engineering processes within the Airbus Helicopters process landscape (Process Landscape Platform) as well as ensuring synchronization with the support processes.
Assessment of the safety risks of the helicopter configuration and definition of the necessary safety requirements for the embedded system, covering both functional and assurance aspects.
Monitoring the development of security features according to their Design Assurance Level.
Formalization of the evidence demonstration (compliance demonstration) regarding the airworthiness requirements as well as contribution to the helicopter's safety certification.
