Job description

Position Title: Cybersecurity Engineer

Location: San Pedro Garza García, N.L. Reports to: Cybersecurity and Functional Safety Manager Mx

The Role:

The Cybersecurity (Systems) Engineer derives, specifies, and verifies cybersecurity requirements and architecture at the system level for low voltage energy storage and power distribution products, ensuring cybersecurity goals from the TARA are traceably realized in the system design in compliance with ISO/SAE 21434, ASPICE, and UN R155.

What You’ll Do (Impact Areas)

• Conduct Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) at item and component level
• derive cybersecurity goals and claims and maintain them across the product lifecycle
• Develop the cybersecurity concept and derive cybersecurity requirements at the system level, allocating them to hardware, software, and production elements with full bidirectional traceability
• Define and maintain the system-level cybersecurity architecture, including trust boundaries, attack surfaces, and cybersecurity controls (secure boot, secure diagnostics, secure flash, key and certificate handling)
• Collaborate with hardware, software, production, and functional safety teams to ensure cybersecurity requirements are correctly interpreted and implemented; support cross-functional and customer technical reviews
• Integrate cybersecurity activities into ASPICE SYS.1-SYS.5 base practices and align with ISO 26262 system-level safety requirements and interfaces
• Plan and execute cybersecurity verification and validation at the system level, including requirement-based testing, vulnerability analysis, and penetration test scoping; evaluate and disposition findings
• Produce and maintain system-level cybersecurity work products for the cybersecurity case, including specifications, architecture documentation, verification reports, and traceability evidence
• Support End Of line configuration to ensure appropriate handling to production
• Support vulnerability management and post-production activities, including vulnerability triage, impact analysis, and input to the product incident response process
• Support cybersecurity audits and assessments by providing system-level evidence and rationale

What Success Looks Like

For this type of role, success is measured not only by the completion of Cybersecurity work products, but also by compliance, project support, technical leadership, and stakeholder confidence.
