    • Evaluate proposed or existing system architectures for reverse engineering and cyber exploitation vulnerabilities
    • Document vulnerabilities in white papers and attack countermeasure analysis
    • Recommend architectural changes to reduce system vulnerabilities

    • Document system design and requirements within a program protection plan and anti-tamper plan
    • Develop Crypto and Key management plans
    • Prepare for, attend, and brief and customer and government design review meetings
    • Participate in all aspects of the product design life cycle including system architecture, design, development, and verification
    • Distill complex technical concepts into clear and concise writing to support proposals for new opportunities
    • Contribute to new product ideas and proposals
    • Advising, mentoring, and training
    • Stay current with threat, vulnerabilities, countermeasure, hardware and software architecture
    • Advise and train customers on system vulnerabilities and countermeasures enabling them to design and requirements to secure their architectures
    • Advise customers on security and design principles, best practices, and system security engineering processes and approvals
    • Participate in industry working groups and provide security recommendations to relevant government and commercial standards, policies, and procedures
    • Participate in development and delivery of internal and external training efforts
