About The Position

We are seeking a System Integration engineer with focus on cybersecurity testing
to contribute to the system integration and testing activities for the next
generation vehicle controller and software platform. This new architecture will
integrate new and advanced software functions for cloud connectivity and edge
processing, thus enabling highly automated driving and advanced connectivity
features. The individual should be an experienced engineer in system integration
and testing, specializing in cyber security testing and having a strong
technical background in systems engineering and vehicle architecture
development.

The primary focus will be to integrate the system of ECUs on a system bench and
ensure that the software running on all ECUs function without vulnerabilities.
The process starts with flashing the software of the involved ECUs, and then
running a suite of tests that verifies the communication (Ethernet, CAN, and
LIN), assess the stability of the software under stress, and tests cybersecurity
features. The responsibilities mainly involve identifying vulnerabilities
through methods like vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, evaluating
system weaknesses via risk assessments and audits, and actively monitoring
networks and user behavior for cybersecurity threats. These activities involve a
cycle of testing, analyzing results, and implementing remediation to improve
overall security posture.

The job also entails reviewing relevant requirements, developing test cases
using Python and CAPL scripting (among others), automating the execution of the
test cases on CI pipelines, and analyzing the results. The role demands close
alignment and interaction with SW design and architecture teams, in addition to
cybersecurity experts.

We are looking for a highly motivated integration engineer who is deeply skilled
in cybersecurity testing and who will work side by side with development
engineers from the early design phase until system validation. This starts at
day one by not only integrating early implementations and requirement models,
but challenging design and logical architecture in the earliest phase and with a
focus to always strive for a great end-to-end system experience.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Minimum 5 years of experience in systems engineering/vehicle network development and industrialization, minimally on a sub-system domain level including a minimum of 2 years in cybersecurity requirements-driven and penetration testing
• Solid technical knowledge of E/E architecture and vehicle networks, their functions and features, solid understanding of LIN (ISO 17987-1) and CAN (ISO 11898-1) networks
• Basic knowledge of Ethernet network (OA TC8) and SOME/IP protocol
• Good understanding of automotive testing standards for distributed systems (e.g., ISTQB Certified Tester)
• Basic knowledge of agile test methods, tools and automation (proven working knowledge with Doors Next Generation, IBM RTC, Jira)
• Experience with in coding (e.g., Python, CAPL, C, C++)

Responsibilities
