Cybersecurity Architect, Cryptography Projects

Location: Tubize #ON-SITE

The Cybersecurity Engineer for Cryptography Projects needs to be a technical passionate. Based on their existing background in IT, telecommunication systems and/or cybersecurity, they will be eager to discover new technologies to continuously expand and reinforce their expertise in these fields. They will put their expertise at the service of both the security-centric projects of the Security discipline and the secure-by-design aspects of the projects lead by the other disciplines.

Your Mission:

• Design customer-centric cryptographic architecturesby analyzing security needs, defining optimal solutions, and serving as the primary technical interfacefor stakeholders.

• Lead system specification, design, and Make/Team/Buy decisions, collaborating with hardware, software, security, and QA teamsto deliver compliant, high-assurance cryptographic solutions.

• Act as the technical authority on cryptography, driving innovation, risk assessments, and best practicesto counter evolving threats(e.g., post-quantum algorithms) and meet regulatory standards(e.g., FIPS, Common Criteria).

• Own technical documentation(HLD/LLD, test plans, user manuals) with end-to-end traceability-from requirements to implementation, validation, and deployment-ensuring audit readiness.

• Support sales/marketing teamsin technical pre-sales activities(RFIs/RFPs, demos, PoCs) by translating complex cryptographic concepts into customer-facing solutions.

• Guide development and testing teamsto ensure on-time delivery, security compliance, and performance optimizationof cryptographic implementations.

• Assess and mitigate cryptographic risks(e.g., side-channel attacks, key management vulnerabilities) while aligning solutions with global security standardsand customer-specific requirements.

What We Are Looking For

• Engineering degree in Telecommunications, Cybersecurity, or related STEM fieldwith 5+ years designing embedded security systems(requirements, architecture, testing).

• 3+ years of experience in at least 3of the following: model-based system engineering, Common Criteria certification, cybersecurity solution deployment(firewalls, anti-DDoS, risk management), IP/IPv6 networking, or embedded Linux.

• Hands-on expertise in cryptography-centric design, including classified information handling, crypto governance, EBIOS risk assessments, or translating business needs into technical security solutions.

• Proven experience with security certification frameworks(e.g., Common Criteria) and adherence to technical/governance constraintsin high-assurance environments(classified or regulated sectors).

• Familiarity with tools like Capella, DOORS, Polarion, Jira, or LaTeXis a strong differentiator.

• Passionate about diverse tech integrations, continuous learning, and problem-solvingwith strong communication skills,

• Customer-focused mindsetwith a track record of pragmatic delivery, cross-functional collaboration, and bridging technical, business, and operational gaps-experience in knowledge sharing(seminars, webinars, whitepapers) is a plus.
