Cybersecurity Engineer F/M/X

Job description

• Conduct and maintain cybersecurity risk analyses for embedded transmission and powertrain systems, using structured methods (e.g. TARA, threat modeling).
• Identify and classify system assets, potential attack vectors, vulnerabilities and associated risks, and propose appropriate mitigation strategies.
• Define cybersecurity objectives and contribute to system‑level and ECU‑level security concepts for electrified driveline components.
• Translate risk analysis results into clear, testable cybersecurity requirements for system, hardware, software and suppliers.
• Ensure proper allocation, traceability and coverage of cybersecurity requirements across the V‑cycle (concept, design, implementation, integration, validation).
• Review system and embedded software architectures to assess security posture and recommend design improvements (segmentation, secure communication, hardening, etc.).
• Specify security mechanisms for in‑vehicle communication, diagnostics, authentication, access control, secure update and data protection.
• Prepare, maintain and review cybersecurity work products at project level (risk analysis reports, security concepts, requirement specifications, compliance evidence).
• Monitor implementation of cybersecurity measures, follow up on open actions, deviations and residual risks, and support risk acceptance decisions.
• Support verification, validation and testing activities related to cybersecurity (test specifications, test reviews, evidence consolidation).
• Review technical documentation and supplier deliverables to ensure alignment with cybersecurity requirements and standards.
• Contribute to the definition and continuous improvement of cybersecurity processes, methods, templates and internal guidelines.
• Collaborate closely with Functional Safety, Systems Engineering and other stakeholders to align safety and security activities and avoid conflicts.
• Communicate cybersecurity topics, risks, trade‑offs and decisions to project managers and technical leaders in a clear and structured way.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Embedded Systems or a related discipline.
• Professional experience in automotive cybersecurity, embedded systems security or product security engineering.
• Hands‑on experience with threat and risk analysis methods (e.g. TARA), security concept definition and security requirements engineering.
• Solid understanding of ISO/SAE 21434 and its application in development projects.
• Familiarity with UNECE Regulation R155 and automotive Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS).
• Good knowledge of embedded hardware and software architectures (microcontrollers, ECUs, communication buses, RTOS, etc.).
• Experience in managing cybersecurity requirements, traceability and technical documentation throughout the development lifecycle.
• Ability to translate abstract security risks into concrete, implementable technical requirements for engineering teams.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary, international project environments.
• Strong written and spoken English; additional languages are a plus.
• Strong communication skills, analytical mindset and a structured approach to technical problem‑solving.

• Experience in automotive powertrain, transmission or electric‑vehicle systems.
• Knowledge of standards and frameworks such as ISO 24089 (software update engineering), IEC 62443, OWASP or AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive).
• Practical experience with secure boot, secure diagnostics, cryptographic mechanisms, key management or intrusion detection for embedded systems.
• Exposure to cybersecurity testing, vulnerability management or penetration testing in an automotive or embedded context.
• Understanding of OEM cybersecurity requirements and typical supplier/OEM interfaces.
• Experience with requirements management tools (e.g. Polarion, DOORS or similar).
• Familiarity with Automotive SPICE and cybersecurity audits or assessments.

• The opportunity to work on cutting‑edge electrified transmission and e‑mobility projects with high impact on future vehicles.
• A dynamic, international environment within Mantu, with strong technical communities and knowledge‑sharing.
• Career development opportunities, training and certifications in cybersecurity, automotive standards and related domains.
