Cybersecurity Architect; Automoive Embedded systems

About the Role

We are seeking a Cybersecurity Solution Architect to drive the development and implementation of state-of-the-art security solutions in automotive embedded systems. This role will focus on key technical areas such as PKI, IDS, Secure Boot, and ECU-level security requirements, ensuring robust cybersecurity architecture across the vehicle ecosystem.

As a Cybersecurity Solution Architect, you will play a vital role in threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA), security requirement definition, and system integration. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155 while guiding projects from a cybersecurity perspective. Additionally, you will lead the implementation of Key Management Systems and introduce cybersecurity infrastructure requirements across multiple teams.

Key Responsibilities

✔️ Define and develop cybersecurity architectures, focusing on PKI, IDS, Secure Boot, and security attribute requirements. ✔️ Execute TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment), considering E/E architecture and project topology. ✔️ Drive cybersecurity requirements at the ECU level and provide clear guidelines for allocation. ✔️ Manage and coordinate cybersecurity project timelines, ensuring alignment with overall development schedules. ✔️ Collaborate with cross-functional teams and Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to introduce cybersecurity infrastructure requirements. ✔️ Lead the implementation of security features, including Key Management Systems and secure communication protocols (e.g., SecOC on J1939 and LIN). ✔️ Ensure compliance with UNECE R155 regulations and contribute to type approval processes. ✔️ Work with Vector tools and solutions for cybersecurity implementations. ✔️ Support secure onboard (Vehicle/ECU level) and offboard (Cloud) PKI management.

Required Qualifications & Experience
