Job Description


We are seeking an experienced Automotive Cybersecurity Specialist to take ownership of cybersecurity threat analysis, architecture definition, and protection strategies for in-vehicle networks such as CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet. You will ensure compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155 standards while collaborating with system architects, software engineers, and functional teams to embed security in the vehicle E/E architecture from the ground up.


Key
Responsibilities:


1.
Threat & Risk Analysis (TARA):


  • Perform threat modeling and risk assessment for
    in-vehicle communication channels (CAN, CAN-FD, Ethernet, LIN).

  • Identify attack vectors (e.g., spoofing, injection,
    DoS) and propose mitigations based on threat severity.


2.
Security Architecture & Design:


  • Define and maintain cybersecurity concepts and
    requirements for networked ECUs.

  • Collaborate with E/E system architects to define secure
    communication flows, segmentation strategies, and gateway protections.

  • Define security zones and boundaries between critical
    vs. non-critical domains (e.g., powertrain vs. infotainment).


3.
Protocol & Interface Security:


  • Define secure messaging concepts for CAN (e.g., MAC, ID
    whitelisting, time-window validation).

  • Implement secure Ethernet communication using
    TLS/IPsec/DoIP firewalls.

  • Define intrusion detection (IDS) and prevention system
    (IPS) strategies for Ethernet/CAN gateway ECUs.


4.
Standards Compliance:


  • Ensure security requirements and development processes
    are aligned with:

    • ISO/SAE 21434 (Cybersecurity Engineering)

    • UN R155 (Cybersecurity Management System)

    • ASPICE security extension (if applicable)


5.
Testing, Monitoring & Verification:


  • Support penetration testing, fuzz testing, and
    simulated cyberattacks in development vehicles and benches.

  • Work with security test teams to validate
    implementation of message authentication, secure boot, secure diagnostics,
    and OTA protections.

  • Analyze logs and CAN/Ethernet traces to identify
    abnormal behavior or intrusion patterns.


6.
Collaboration & Documentation:


  • Work closely with software, hardware, diagnostic, and
    network teams.

  • Provide documentation for cybersecurity work products
    including CS Concept, CS Claim, TARA Report, and Verification Plan.

  • Support supplier selection and cybersecurity
    requirement reviews with Tier 1s and tool vendors.


Requirements


  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science,
    Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical
    field.

  • 3+ years of experience in automotive cybersecurity or
    network security.

  • Strong understanding of in-vehicle communication
    protocols (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet/AVB/TSN).

  • Familiar with ISO 21434, UN R155, and typical OEM
    cybersecurity development cycles.

  • Experience with CANoe/CANalyzer, Wireshark, and network
    simulation or fuzzing tools.

  • Proficient in identifying and mitigating cyber threats
    in embedded systems.


Preferred
Qualifications:


  • Experience with security modules such as:

    • Secure Onboard Communication (SecOC)

    • Hardware Security Modules (HSM)

    • Secure Boot & Secure Flash

  • Familiarity with AUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive) security
    stack.

  • Experience with PKI, key provisioning, and ECU
    certificate management.
