Automotive Penetration test engineer
Are you passionate about automotive cybersecurity and eager to make a tangible impact on the future of vehicle safety? We are looking for an Automotive Penetration Test Engineer to join a dedicated team focused on ensuring the security and resilience of the next generation of connected vehicles. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, executing, and reporting on penetration tests for embedded automotive systems, including ECUs, infotainment systems, and vehicle networks such as CAN, LIN, and Ethernet. You will collaborate closely with development and engineering teams to identify vulnerabilities, assess risk, and provide actionable recommendations for mitigation.
Your day-to-day activities will involve threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, and hands-on testing of both hardware and software components. You will employ a variety of tools and techniques to simulate real-world attack scenarios, document findings, and support the remediation process. Staying up-to-date with the latest trends, attack vectors, and regulatory standards in automotive cybersecurity will be crucial. Additionally, you may contribute to internal knowledge sharing sessions, mentor junior engineers, and assist in developing and refining security testing methodologies.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in penetration testing, cybersecurity, or embedded systems security, with a thorough understanding of automotive architectures and communication protocols. Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Bash, experience with automotive diagnostic tools, and familiarity with industry standards (e.g., ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE WP.29) are highly desirable. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are required, along with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
