Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your cybersecurity expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside passionate, motivated, and dedicated teammates.

You'll be part of the SCC Application Design team, where the SCC system comprises three subsystems: ATS (Automatic Train Supervision), SCADA, and the security system.

• Deriving and maintaining System Security Requirements (SSRs) based on risk and threat analysis

• Creating, maintaining, and executing cybersecurity Test Cases (TCs)

• Supporting automation of cybersecurity testing activities where applicable

• Performing cybersecurity gap analysis and implementing mitigation measures into software and systems

• Supporting secure-by-design architecture and ensuring cybersecurity compliance across SCC subsystems

• Understanding and implementing secure communication protocols (e.g., TLS, SSH, HTTPS)

• Managing and validating certificates, PKI, and cryptographic mechanisms

• Ensuring traceability between risks, requirements, and validation activities

• Supporting integration, testing, and commissioning with a cybersecurity focus

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams (system, software, validation, safety)

• Contributing to threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, and risk assessment

• Ensuring proper configuration and cybersecurity documentation management

• Proactively identifying and resolving cybersecurity risks and technical challenges
