Summary: As an Automotive Cybersecurity Engineer, you will implement and validate security controls across in-vehicle systems, ensuring protection of ECUs, telematics units, and connected vehicle infrastructure. You will contribute to threat modeling and diagnostics hardening efforts, support penetration testing activities, and document the integration of cybersecurity measures in alignment with regulatory and technical requirements. Roles & Responsibilities: • Support the development and implementation of cybersecurity controls across ECUs, telematics systems, and in-vehicle networks in alignment with ISO/SAE 21434 and company CSMS. • Participate in security architecture and design reviews, contributing to the definition and validation of security requirements for embedded vehicle systems. • Conduct and document threat modeling and risk assessments using methodologies such as HEAVENS, STRIDE, and custom attack graphs. • Perform penetration testing and intrusion validation on in-vehicle protocols including CAN, DoIP, and Ethernet, as well as wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. • Assist in the execution of fuzz testing and vulnerability analysis using tools like CANoe, Wireshark, Scapy, and Python-based custom scripts. • Contribute to the validation of secure boot mechanisms and assist in reverse engineering activities to verify firmware security compliance. • Work with software and hardware teams to analyze security issues, identify root causes, and define corrective actions and mitigations. • Maintain operational documentation, including test procedures, vulnerability logs, and mitigation tracking in compliance with regulatory requirements. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate secure diagnostics, access control strategies, and key management protocols. • Participate in internal assessments and support audit readiness for cybersecurity compliance frameworks such as UNECE WP.29 and ISO 26262. Professional & Technical Skills: • Experience supporting in-vehicle cybersecurity programs with 8+ years in embedded or automotive systems development, including 3–4 years focused on penetration testing, diagnostics security, or secure ECU architecture. • Hands-on experience conducting security testing and vulnerability assessments on vehicle communication interfaces such as CAN, DoIP, and Ethernet, as well as wireless protocols including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular. • Strong working knowledge of UDS diagnostics (ISO 14229), secure diagnostics access control, and protocol fuzzing techniques to uncover vulnerabilities in ECUs and vehicle gateways. • Proficiency with security testing tools and platforms such as CANoe, Wireshark, Scapy, Python, and Ghidra for traffic analysis, custom scripting, and reverse engineering. • Familiarity with cryptographic principles and practical usage of cryptographic libraries (e.g., OpenSSL, mbedTLS) and hardware security modules (HSM) for secure key storage, boot processes, and firmware authentication. • Experience supporting OTA (Over-the-Air) update platforms and ensuring their secure integration using encryption, authentication, and rollback protection mechanisms. • Exposure to cybersecurity development in Agile-based or V-model automotive environments, working collaboratively with software, systems, and validation teams. • Knowledge of regulatory and compliance standards relevant to automotive cybersecurity, including ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE WP.29 (R155/R156), and functional safety (ISO 26262). • Ability to document test cases, generate detailed security analysis reports, and provide engineering teams with clear recommendations and follow-up actions for mitigation. • Demonstrated problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues related to embedded systems security, communication integrity, and control system protection. Additional Information: • 5+ years’ experience implementing and performing Automotive Cybersecurity • Experience with AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive), ECU firmware security, or secure telematics units. • This position is based at our Bengaluru office • A 15-year full-time education is required • Good to have Certifications in ISO 21434, CISSP, CEH, OSCP, GICSP15 years full time education
