    About the job

    Summary

    Can you help to protect the UK from emerging cyber threats?

    Are you interested in using your skills on classified projects you cannot work on anywhere else?

    Do you want to be part of a team that conducts cutting edge science and engineering?

    The military and civilian worlds are entirely dependent on electronic systems and data. This affects everything from our everyday phones and laptops through to our military vehicles, power distribution, communications systems, and other ‘invisible’ systems.

    Dstl’s cyber capability protecting UK Defence and Security from the cyber threats to our systems, networks and military platforms.

    It’s not the stuff that we can say about our work that makes it exciting… it’s the stuff we can’t!

    Dstl recognises the importance of diversity and inclusion as people from diverse backgrounds bring fresh ideas. We are committed to building an inclusive working environment in which each employee fulfils their potential and maximises their contribution.

    We particularly welcome female and ethnic minority applicants and those from the LGBTQI community, as they are under-represented within Dstl at these levels.

    • Develop proofs of concept that can become assured solutions.
    • Steward and support the continued evolution of trustworthy technologies and solutions for our military networks and systems
    • Provide through-life security, safety and cyber resilience for software-intensive products, systems and services.
