• Define reference architectures for Cloud‑to‑Vehicle, Cloud‑to‑Edge gateway, and Cloud‑to‑Simulation/HPC communication.
• Architect and operate a secure OTA campaign management platform, including update artifact storage & signing pipelines, phased rollout orchestration, rollback and safe‑state mechanisms, and integration with ECU software version and vehicle configuration management systems; ensure compliance with ISO24089 and UNECER156.
• Build and maintain DevSecOps CI/CD pipelines for backend microservices, OTA backend, and data pipelines, implementing artifact signing and container security scanning.
• Ensure compliance with ISO26262 (where cloud impacts safety), ISO/SAE21434 cybersecurity, and global data privacy regulations; collaborate with functional safety, cybersecurity, and legal/compliance specialists.
• Support customer workshops, technical deep dives, and contribute to RFQ technical responses.
• Lead, build, and mentor engineering efforts responsible for sub‑project activities.
• Handle working conditions: sit/stand for long periods, lift up to 25lbs, domestic and international travel as needed.

Qualifications

• 7–12years of experience in cloud engineering.
• Strong hands‑on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and REST/gRPC APIs.
• Knowledge of PKI systems, HSM integration, and secure boot & firmware signing concepts.
• Experience designing and operating large‑scale distributed systems.
• Knowledge of OTA architecture, ECU software lifecycle, and AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive) is a strong plus.
• Knowledge of vehicle network architecture is a plus.
• Knowledge of automotive cybersecurity standards (e.g., ISO/SAE21434) is a plus.
