This role focuses on defining, developing, and maintaining system and cybersecurity engineering work products for existing automotive projects in compliance with organizational processes and industry standards, including ASPICE, CSMS, and ISO/SAE 21434. As part of the System/Cybersecurity engineering team, you will play a key role in performing Item Definition, conducting Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA), deriving Cybersecurity Goals and requirements, and ensuring cybersecurity activities are properly integrated into the development lifecycle.

What project we have for you

In addition, the role includes creating and maintaining System Diagnostics requirements for multiple products and variants, ensuring diagnostic behavior, interfaces, access levels, and serviceability requirements are clearly specified and aligned with platform, system, and vehicle needs. This position is ideal for someone who is structured, detail-oriented, proactive, and experienced in automotive systems engineering and cybersecurity process compliance.

What you will do

  • Create, update, and maintain cybersecurity engineering work products for existing automotive projects in alignment with internal development processes, ASPICE requirements, CSMS expectations, and ISO/SAE 21434.
  • Perform Item Definition activities by identifying system boundaries, interfaces, assets, dependencies, operational scenarios, and assumptions for the relevant products and functions.
  • Conduct Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA), including damage scenario definition, threat scenario identification, attack path analysis, impact assessment, feasibility analysis, and risk determination.
  • Derive and maintain Cybersecurity Goals, Cybersecurity Claims, and Cybersecurity Requirements based on TARA results and project risk treatment decisions.
  • Ensure end-to-end traceability between cybersecurity work products, system requirements, technical requirements, and verification activities.
  • Support the implementation and maintenance of cybersecurity concepts for existing projects, ensuring alignment with platform constraints, legacy architectures, and product-specific requirements.
  • Coordinate with system, software, hardware, diagnostics, validation, and project teams to ensure cybersecurity requirements are feasible, consistent, and properly deployed.
  • Ensure all required cybersecurity documentation and evidence are prepared and maintained to support project assessments, audits, and release milestones.
  • Contribute to process compliance activities related to ASPICE and CSMS, including work product reviews, gap identification, and continuous improvement actions.
  • Create, analyze, and maintain System Diagnostics requirements for different products and variants, including diagnostic services, diagnostic sessions, security access, fault memory behavior, DTC concepts, routines, communication behavior, and service tool interactions.
  • Define and manage variant-specific diagnostics requirements to ensure consistency across product lines while addressing individual platform and customer needs.
  • Review existing system and diagnostics specifications and align them with cybersecurity, vehicle architecture, and process compliance expectations.
  • Support technical discussions, reviews, and decision-making related to cybersecurity architecture, diagnostics strategy, and system requirement definition.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in automotive ECU, domain controller, or zonal/system-level development projects.
  • Familiarity with diagnostic requirement authoring for body, gateway, infotainment, ADAS, or powertrain-related ECUs.
  • Understanding of secure diagnostics, authentication mechanisms, secure flashing, and ECU access protection concepts.
  • Experience working with requirement management and traceability tools such as Codebeamer, DOORS, Polarion, or similar platforms.
  • Knowledge of functional safety interfaces and coordination points between ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 activities is an advantage.

What you need for this

  • Strong hands-on experience as a System Engineer and/or Cybersecurity Engineer in automotive embedded projects.
  • Solid understanding of automotive E/E architectures, ECU/system development lifecycle, and systems engineering principles.
  • Practical experience with automotive cybersecurity engineering in accordance with ISO/SAE 21434.
  • Experience creating and maintaining cybersecurity work products such as Item Definition, asset identification, damage scenarios, threat scenarios, attack paths, TARA, Cybersecurity Goals, and Cybersecurity Requirements.
  • Good knowledge of automotive process frameworks and compliance expectations, especially ASPICE and CSMS.
  • Experience defining and managing system requirements, including traceability, change management, and alignment with stakeholder and platform requirements.
  • Knowledge of automotive diagnostics concepts and standards, including UDS, DTC handling, diagnostic sessions, security access, routines, and variant-dependent diagnostic behavior.
  • Experience creating System Diagnostics requirements for different products, ECU variants, or vehicle platforms.
  • Familiarity with automotive communication technologies such as CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet, and related diagnostic and communication concepts.
  • Ability to work effectively across multiple disciplines, including system, software, diagnostics, validation, functional safety, and project teams.
  • Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
