• Experience with product development, requirement management, and system-level design.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

Main responsibilities

• Perform Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
• Define, review, and maintain cybersecurity requirements throughout the development process.
• Support ECU onboarding activities and ensure compliance with internal and external cybersecurity standards.
