Role Overview:
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Senior Embedded Software Engineer or Software Architect specializing in Automotive Cybersecurity to join our engineering team.
In this role, you will drive the design, development, and integration of cybersecurity solutions for next-generation automotive systems. You will work across software, hardware, and manufacturing domains, ensuring that cybersecurity is embedded throughout the product development lifecycle.
The ideal candidate combines strong low-level software development skills with expertise in embedded architectures, cybersecurity engineering, cryptography, and automotive communication technologies. You will provide technical leadership, evaluate emerging security technologies, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, reliable, and innovative automotive solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
Cybersecurity Engineering and Risk Management
Conduct cybersecurity requirements analysis and reviews, identifying security implications and potential attack vectors.
Perform threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA), threat modeling, and cybersecurity design reviews.
Develop and implement security concepts and technical countermeasures to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce cybersecurity risks.
Support cybersecurity assessments, audits, verification activities, and technical reviews throughout the product lifecycle.
Contribute to cybersecurity incident analysis, vulnerability management, and threat mitigation activities.
Software Architecture and Embedded Development
Define and review secure software architectures for embedded automotive systems.
Develop and evaluate low-level software solutions using C and embedded programming techniques.
Identify, customize, and leverage embedded platforms, operating systems, middleware, and system components.
Design and review hardware/software interfaces, including device drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and platform-specific integrations.
Evaluate and integrate security mechanisms across software, hardware, and connected services.
Automotive Cybersecurity Technologies
Design and support cryptographic mechanisms, secure boot, secure communication, authentication, and cryptographic key management.
Evaluate hardware-based security technologies, including Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Secure Hardware Extensions (SHE), ARM TrustZone, and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).
Analyze and secure automotive communication interfaces and protocols, including CAN, CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet, Bluetooth, NFC, and Wi-Fi.
Assess emerging cybersecurity technologies and determine their suitability for future automotive applications.
Support the integration of cybersecurity requirements into hardware, software, and manufacturing processes.
Technical Leadership and Collaboration
Provide technical guidance and cybersecurity expertise to software, hardware, systems, validation, and manufacturing teams.
Define implementation strategies for prototypes, proof-of-concept solutions, and technical demonstrations.
Guide engineering teams in adopting secure design principles, cybersecurity validation methodologies, and development best practices.
Review technical documentation, architecture designs, implementation approaches, and verification results.
Support cybersecurity knowledge sharing and the continuous improvement of engineering processes.
Required Qualifications
Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Strong proficiency in C programming and low-level embedded software development.
Solid understanding of embedded systems architecture, operating systems, networking, middleware, cryptography, and resource management.
Experience in embedded platform customization, system integration, or operating system-level development.
Practical experience in cybersecurity engineering, including threat analysis, risk assessment, vulnerability mitigation, and security design reviews.
Experience with security operations, incident handling, vulnerability analysis, or threat management.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate cybersecurity requirements into practical engineering solutions.
Familiarity with engineering tools such as Enterprise Architect, Jira, and Polarion.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in the automotive industry or development of safety- and security-critical embedded systems.
Knowledge of ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE WP.29 cybersecurity requirements, and relevant SAE and ISO standards.
Relevant cybersecurity certifications, such as ISO/SAE 21434-related CSMS or cybersecurity engineering qualifications.
Hands-on experience with automotive communication protocols, including CAN, CAN-FD, and Automotive Ethernet.
Familiarity with Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and connected vehicle technologies.
Ability to interpret electronic circuit schematics, hardware datasheets, and digital logic designs.
Experience designing and integrating device drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and hardware/software interfaces.
Knowledge of AUTOSAR Classic and/or Adaptive platforms.
Expertise in threat modeling, TARA, cybersecurity architecture, and security design reviews for emerging technologies.
Practical knowledge of hardware security technologies, including HSM, SHE, ARM TrustZone, and TEE.
Experience with secure boot, firmware integrity, software update security, key provisioning, and lifecycle key management.
Key Competencies:
Secure-by-design mindset.
Strong software architecture and embedded engineering expertise.
Ability to balance security, performance, reliability, and resource constraints.
Structured approach to threat analysis and risk-based decision-making.
Technical leadership and stakeholder management.
Curiosity about emerging technologies and continuous professional development.
Success Criteria:
Success in this role will be demonstrated through:
Delivery of robust and maintainable cybersecurity architectures for embedded automotive systems.
Effective identification, assessment, and mitigation of cybersecurity risks.
