Cyber Detection Engineering Lead (d/f/m)
Role Overview
To support our Digital Security Team, Airbus Defence and Space division is seeking a highly skilled Leader Role for Detection Engineer (d/f/m). This is a critical, high-impact role designed to actively protect our entire organization and our world-class products.
This is a technical, hands-on position that sits at the heart of our defense strategy. You will not simply respond to alerts; you will be the architect of our detection ecosystem—transforming threat intelligence into high-fidelity detection logic and bridging the gap between raw telemetry and actionable security intelligence.
Your location
Our site is just a stone's throw away from Munich, the beautiful capital of Bavaria. You are into sports and other outdoor activities? The Alps and Lake Starnberg are within an hour’s reach, offering a multitude of recreational options. Possible work locations include Manching, Taufkirchen/Ottobrunn, Immenstaad am Bodensee, and Ulm.
Our Benefits for You
Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.
Your tasks and responsibilities
Lead Detection Strategy: Define the long-term vision for detection engineering, aligning technical roadmaps with organizational risk profiles while standardizing the development lifecycle.
Engine & Rule Lifecycle Management: Architect, develop, maintain, and optimize high-fidelity detection rules for the SOC while expanding framework coverage against MITRE ATT&CK® and Sigma standards.
Threat Intelligence Translation: Analyze Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and translate complex TTPs into proactive, resilient detection logic.
Automation & Orchestration: Drive "Detection-as-Code" initiatives and engineer automated response playbooks to streamline incident response and minimize manual intervention.
Technical Mentorship & Escalation: Act as the primary escalation point for complex technical issues, mentoring junior detection engineers and SOC analysts.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Incident Response and SOC teams to ensure deployment of context-rich detections that enable rapid threat containment.
Desired skills and qualifications
Degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
Proven track record in developing use cases and detection logic within a Security Operations Center (SOC) environment, including leadership or mentorship experience.
Strong proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with automation frameworks to streamline operations.
Deep technical expertise in Windows and Linux operating systems, including OS internals, system logging, and telemetry analysis.
Practical background in Red Teaming, Penetration Testing, or an offensive mindset to anticipate attacker methodologies.
Advanced expertise with the MITRE ATT&CK® framework and Detection-as-Code concepts.
Strong communication skills with an empathetic, collaborative approach to leading cross-functional teams and technical initiatives.
