Your mission is to support R&D, project management, and security engineering teams, as well as partners and suppliers, by governing the effective development of cybersecurity work-products across the program lifecycle ensuring continuous alignment with customer expectations and compliance obligations through clear validation and traceability.
What will your job look like:
Govern and review the elicitation, documentation, and alignment of cybersecurity requirements with internal stakeholders, customers: Tier-1/OEM, and suppliers.
Ensure that cybersecurity requirements are clearly defined, risk-informed (via TARA- Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment), and appropriately allocated across system, software, and hardware components.
Monitor cybersecurity progress throughout program lifecycles, ensuring work-products are produced, validated and delivered according to ISO/SAE 21434 and ASPICE standards.
Establish and maintain traceability from cybersecurity risks and applied goals to technical requirements, design elements, and validation artifacts.
Review and validate the completeness of cybersecurity compliance evidence during milestone and release gates (e.g. Cyber reviews, release readiness).
Serve as a central cybersecurity liaison across project management, systems engineering, and customer interface functions.
Track and support the resolution of cybersecurity-related gaps, non-conformities or event and incident management.
Prepare for internal and external cybersecurity compliance assessments and audits, ensuring quality and readiness.
