Drive vulnerability response workflows, including root cause analysis, remediation tracking, and verification.

Ensure alignment with product cybersecurity standards and regulations, including IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIS2, and CRA‑related obligations.

Review and maintain SBOMs and supplier security documentation to support compliance and supply‑chain security requirements.

Partner with QA and firmware teams on security testing, validation, and release readiness.

Familiarity with networked embedded systems and common protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, TLS, diagnostics interfaces).

Ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional engineering, quality, and compliance teams.

Preferred Experience

Experience with product cybersecurity standards such as IEC 62443, ISO/SAE 21434, or similar industrial/OT security frameworks.

Familiarity with SBOM formats and tooling (e.g., CycloneDX, SPDX).

Experience supporting security compliance or regulatory readiness for embedded products.

Background in firmware development using C/C++ or reviewing embedded firmware code for security considerations.

Understanding of secure device lifecycle concepts, including manufacturing security, provisioning, and field updates.
