Automotive Cybersecurity Test Engineer

We’re seeking a motivated and technically curious individual to join our growing cybersecurity team as an Automotive Cybersecurity Test Engineer. In this role, you’ll support the evaluation and validation of cybersecurity requirements across a wide range of modern automotive systems. You’ll help shape how vehicle cybersecurity testing is performed— executing hands-on tests, refining test procedures, researching emerging solutions, and developing tools that improve how requirements are verified in real-world applications.

This is a growth-oriented role designed for someone with 1 to 3 years of experience in computer or hardware systems who is eager to deepen their knowledge in vehicle cybersecurity and become a technical contributor in a rapidly evolving field.

• Perform hands-on testing to verify and validate cybersecurity requirements across cybersecurity relevant vehicle systems.
• Develop and refine cybersecurity test procedures for in-vehicle systems and connected ecosystems.
• Research emerging cybersecurity threats, tools, and solutions related to automotive systems.
• Translate security requirements into actionable test strategies and contribute to a comprehensive cybersecurity testing playbook for internal team use.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure test procedures align with evolving system architectures and security requirements.
• Develop internal tools, scripts, or frameworks to support and automate the evaluation of cybersecurity requirements.
• Contribute to long-term goals of scalable and automated cybersecurity testing across the full automotive technology stack.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 1 to 3 years of industry or academic experience working with hardware systems, embedded software, or computer security.
• Familiarity with vehicle architectures, embedded systems, or automotive networking (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) is a plus.
• Strong understanding of APIs and application security, with hands-on experience in authentication protocols like OAuth, SAML, etc.
• Interest in modern connected vehicle systems including mobile app integration, cloud-based services, and EV infrastructure.
• Strong interest in cybersecurity and willingness to learn hands-on techniques related to threat modeling, test design, and system evaluation.
• Ability to document technical processes clearly and follow structured workflows.
• Proficiency in scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++, Bash) is preferred.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and collaborative.
