What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end cybersecurity of the new generation, from ECUs through telematics to the HEERO Cloud
  • Hands-on software work: create TARAs, implement security concepts, review code and architectures, analyse and close vulnerabilities
  • Build CSMS and SUMS according to UN R155, UN R156 and ISO/SAE 21434 so they hold up in type approval
  • Technically lead vehicle, software and cloud partners, define requirements and demand evidence
  • Ensure security across the lifecycle: monitoring, incident response and secure OTA processes for a long-lived fleet
  • Work with the Homologation Lead to deliver cybersecurity evidence to technical services and authorities

What we're looking for

  • Several years of experience in automotive cybersecurity, ideally at an OEM, Tier-1 or engineering service provider
  • Deep understanding of vehicle E/E architectures, embedded and backend systems; able to read and write code
  • Practical experience with UN R155/R156 and ISO/SAE 21434, including in audits
  • Experience managing external development partners, ideally internationally
  • Entrepreneurial attitude: decide, execute and own the outcome
  • Very good German and English

Benefits

  • Room to shape cybersecurity for an entire vehicle generation, unlike in a large corporation
  • An AI-native company where AI is the operating model, not a tool
  • Short lines to management and the board, fast decisions
  • Hybrid working with a mobile component
  • Corporate benefits, good public transport connections, free parking and regular team events
