Job description

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

• Proven experience as a Cybersecurity Engineer or Architect, specializing in embedded systems security.
• Strong knowledge of cybersecurity requirements engineering and threat analysis methodologies (TARA execution).
• Experience with connected vehicle communication technologies (CAN, Ethernet).
• Hands‑on experience in writing cybersecurity requirements based on common industry standards.
• Familiarity with PKI, Key Management Systems, and Secure Boot for embedded systems.
• Experience with R155 type approval and regulatory compliance.
• Knowledge of SecOC implementation on J1939 and LIN is a plus.
• Familiarity with Vector cybersecurity solutions is an advantage.

Who You Are

• A technically skilled professional with a passion for automotive cybersecurity.
• A strong communicator with leadership and project management skills, capable of coordinating cybersecurity efforts across large teams.
• Agile and adaptable, with a collaborative mindset to work effectively with engineering teams, security specialists, and business stakeholders.
• Committed to delivering secure, compliant, and high-quality embedded security solutions.
