Automotive Cybersecurity Engineer

As an Automotive Cybersecurity Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to assess and enhance the security of connected vehicles. This involves conducting advanced penetration testing, wireless and hardware exploitation, and embedded system analysis. By evaluating vehicle communication systems, infotainment platforms, and remote entry mechanisms, you will identify vulnerabilities that could potentially compromise vehicle safety, privacy, and overall functionality. This role is ideal for cybersecurity professionals who are passionate about automotive technologies, embedded interfaces, and threat simulation. You will be tasked with various responsibilities including: - Performing Security Testing of In-Vehicle Systems by assessing vehicle internal networks, analyzing infotainment systems for privacy concerns, and simulating remote and physical attack vectors. - Evaluating Embedded & Wireless Communication Interfaces, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RF-based protocols, and testing for privilege escalation and data interception. - Reverse Engineering Vehicle Architectures by understanding circuit-level data flows, analyzing firmware and physical ports, and utilizing diagnostic tools for testing. - Identifying Vulnerabilities and Recommending Mitigation strategies by documenting test findings, working with internal teams and OEMs, and contributing to testing methodologies improvement. - Staying Aligned with Industry Standards by ensuring compliance with national and international automotive cybersecurity standards and staying updated on emerging vehicle technologies and cyber threat landscapes. To be eligible for this role, you should have a Bachelor's degree in electrical/electronics, computer science, cybersecurity, or a related discipline. Additionally, you should possess technical skills including knowledge of vehicle networking protocols, experience with CAN analysis tools, familiarity with Android-based systems, wireless exploitation, and circuit and system-level debugging. A minimum of 4 years of experience in penetration testing, embedded security, or automotive security assessment is required. Desired eligibility criteria include exposure to AIS 189 or ISO/SAE 21434 frameworks, participation in hardware-based CTFs or red teaming, familiarity with relevant tools and certifications, and the ability to work in lab environments and travel for on-site testing engagements. Travel may be required across the country for project execution, monitoring, and coordination with geographically distributed teams. Communication skills are essential, and applicants are expected to submit a cover letter summarizing their experience along with a resume and the latest passport-size photograph.,
