Why Join Secmation

Secmation is a proven, mission-focused engineering company with more than a decade of delivering real capability to the defense community. We operate with the speed, ownership, and tight-knit culture of a small business-backed by the credibility and track record that comes from 10+ years of successful execution. Here, engineers build systems that matter, move fast, and ship technology that directly impacts security.

As a cybersecurity engineer, you'll help build technology where security is designed from day one-not bolted on. You'll work across AI-enabled RF/cyber analysis tools, trusted execution environments, zero-trust architectures, and strong cryptographic frameworks to help defense teams identify cyber/EW risks earlier, react faster, and deliver secure mission capabilities with fewer obstacles.

Small company. Big mission. Real engineering.

• Strong C/C++ programming skills with design and implementation of security controls across different development platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to implement robust security controls in real-time and constrained environments.
