- Collaborate with engineering teams to define and validate security requirements during the development and building phases.
- Engage in security reviews, audits, and technical workshops with internal and external collaborators.
Key Skills & Qualifications:
- Strong experience with penetration testing methodologies (e.g., OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, PTES).
- Proficiency in network protocols and analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark, Scapy, Burp Suite, CANoe).
- Knowledge of wireless protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE) and associated security risks.
- Understanding of FOTA architecture, security layers, and update mechanisms.
- Experience with threat modeling, fuzz testing, and exploit development.
- Programming/scripting knowledge (e.g., Python, C/C++, Bash) is a plus.
