As part of our Cybersecurity team, you will help us deliver the future by assuring the safety and cybersecurity of our self-driving vehicles, passengers, and infrastructure. You will work with a team that is at the forefront of the industry by implementing analysis processes from the Autonomous Vehicle Cybersecurity Development Lifecycle (AVCDL). You will use those processes to proactively identify and address threats. Join us in creating a safer, more secure future of transportation.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Implement design review, attack surface analysis, and threat modeling processes for self-driving systems in conformance with AVCDL. 
• Utilize implemented analysis processes to find threats in self-driving systems, their components, and supporting cloud infrastructure.
• Analyze design constraints, analyze trade-offs and detailed system and security design, and consider lifecycle support.
• Create and communicate convincing evidence that the self-driving system is free of unreasonable threats in a manner that is suitable for regulatory certification.
• Engage early and often with new development projects to reduce re-work required to improve cybersecurity.
• Contribute to the development of detailed security design documentation for component and interface specifications to support system design and development
• Clearly document self-driving architectures in a manner that is useful for communicating cybersecurity information.
• Consult with teams to provide solutions to remediate or mitigate uncovered deficiencies.
• Interact with development teams to ensure controls are meeting the intended goals.
• Document and communicate security findings and associated risks to a broad audience.
• Enhance threat modeling tooling, such as the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool, to improve automation when used for automotive systems.
• Contribute to industry organizations to proliferate standard approaches for pro-actively finding threats that work well and are efficient in a self-driving context.
• Provide subject matter expertise in cybersecurity to the enterprise.

What We're Looking:

• 5+ years of professional experience in application security, software architecture, or software engineering
• 2+ years experience threat modeling embedded systems
• Expertise in industry standards and regulations such as ISO 21434, UNECE WP.29 R155, or similar in other industries
• Systems engineering experience aligned with rigorous practices such as those promulgated by INCOSE
• Strong ability to perform architectural, design, and other reviews in a cybersecurity context
• Experience effectively communicating deficiencies to engineering teams
• Working knowledge of developing in C and C++

Why You Should Join Us:

• Opportunity to advance the state of the art on cybersecurity for cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology
