• Collaborate with engineering and safety teams to embed security into every stage of the product lifecycle —from design and development to incident response.
• Ensure ongoing compliance with cybersecurity standards across multiple projects.
• Partner with functional safety experts to align cybersecurity and safety requirements.

What will help you to fulfill your role

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Automotive Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with threat modeling and risk assessments for embedded or distributed systems.
• Familiarity with security best practices including secure communications, authentication protocols, and modern security technologies.
• Experience working with regulated environments and producing compliance-driven deliverables.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines to define and negotiate security requirements.
• Several years in a cybersecurity or related engineering role, ideally in automotive or mobility domains.
• Experience designing and implementing security features in software or hardware systems.
• Familiarity with ISO/SAE 21434 and/or UNR 155 certification processes.
• Exposure to policy-driven security frameworks (e.g., RBAC/ABAC, OPA).
• Prior involvement in incident response, SLO/SLI definition, or on-call rotations.
• A passion for mentoring and leading technical discussions.
