Security Architect

Join Applied Intuition as a Security Architect, where you will lead the design and implementation of cybersecurity architectures for next-generation automotive systems. You will ensure compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity engineering standards and UN Regulations 155/156 requirements. Collaborating with embedded and application security engineers, you will establish security controls across various platforms and develop automotive-specific security requirements for AI/ML systems in autonomous driving. Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, a fitness stipend, 401(k) match, and more.

• Concevoir et mettre en œuvre des architectures de cybersécurité pour les systèmes automobiles de nouvelle génération, en veillant à la conformité aux normes ISO/SAE 21434.
• Établir des contrôles de sécurité couvrant le matériel siliconé, les systèmes embarqués, les systèmes POSIX, les réseaux et l'infrastructure cloud pour les plateformes automobiles.
• Collaborer avec les fournisseurs pour garantir que la sécurité des composants de niveau 1/2 répond aux exigences de la chaîne d'approvisionnement ISO 21434.
• Mentoring junior engineers in secure coding practices
• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing and deploying security solutions for embedded automotive systems, with proven expertise in:
• AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive security components
• Vehicle network analysis (Vector CANoe, Wireshark dissectors for SOME/IP)
• Experience with autonomous vehicle sensor security (LiDAR/Camera spoofing countermeasures)
• This role requires deep technical expertise in automotive cybersecurity frameworks, hands-on experience with secure development lifecycle (SDL) processes, and the ability to translate regulatory requirements into implementable security architectures
• Secure boot implementation and hardware-rooted trust chains (HSM provisioning, TEE architectures)
• Strong systems programming skills in C/C++/Rust for bare-metal and RTOS environments, with experience in:
• Familiarity with Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) security testing
• Real-time intrusion detection systems for vehicle networks
• Proficiency in automotive security toolchains:
• Embedded debug tools (JTAG, UART, Trace32)
• Threat modeling for complex automotive architectures
• Reverse engineering and vulnerability research on automotive firmware (ARM Cortex-M/R, QNX, AUTOSAR)
• Contributions to open-source automotive security projects (e.g., OpenXC, SavvyCAN)
• Cryptographic engineering for resource-constrained environments (ECC optimization, post-quantum crypto prototyping)
• Familiarity with automotive development workflows:
• Public research on automotive vulnerabilities (CVEs, conference presentations, whitepapers)
• ECU flashing and diagnostic tools (ODX/PDX scripting, UDS exploit development)
• Secure over-the-air update implementations
• Background in hardware security evaluation (glitching, fault injection, TEMPEST)
• Security code reviews for safety-critical embedded software
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical security initiatives, including:
• Automotive communication protocol security (CAN bus hardening, Ethernet intrusion detection)
• Experience with hardware security module integration
• Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
• Development of vehicle-specific penetration testing rigs (CAN bus injectors, ECU emulators)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for ECU software with SBOM generation
