Cybersecurity Architect, Cryptography Projects

Location: Tubize, Belgium We say HI* – welcome to the Thales team! Human Intelligence Say HI – to your career as 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 architectures by analyzing security needs, defining optimal solutions, and serving as the primary technical interface for stakeholders.

Lead system specification, design, and Make/Team/Buy decisions , collaborating with hardware, software, security, and QA teams to deliver compliant, high-assurance cryptographic solutions . Act as the technical authority on cryptography , driving innovation, risk assessments, and best practices to 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 teams in technical pre-sales activities (RFIs/RFPs, demos, Po.

Cs) by translating complex cryptographic concepts into customer-facing solutions . Guide development and testing teams to ensure on-time delivery, security compliance , and performance optimization of cryptographic implementations. Assess and mitigate cryptographic risks (e.g., side-channel attacks, key management vulnerabilities) while aligning solutions with global security standards and customer-specific requirements .

What We Are Looking For

Engineering degree in Telecommunications, Cybersecurity, or related STEM field with 5+ years designing embedded security systems (requirements, architecture, testing). 3+ years of experience in at least 3 of 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 constraints in high-assurance environments (classified or regulated sectors).

Familiarity with tools like Capella, DOORS, Polarion, Jira, or La. TeX is a strong differentiator. Passionate about diverse tech integrations, continuous learning, and problem-solving with strong communication skills, Customer-focused mindset with 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.
