  • Produce technical documentation describing how IT products conform to security requirements and provide user instructions for secure configurations.
  • Justify the accuracy and sufficiency of test results to third-party quality reviewers.

  • Knowledge of network, transport, and application layer communications and security (e.g., TCP/IP, TLS, IPsec) is required.
  • Working knowledge of applied cryptography, including X.509, PKI, and post-quantum standards, is required.
  • Experience with software development lifecycle methods and tools like JIRA or GitLab is required.
  • Strong customer-facing oral and written communication skills are required.
