Cybersecurity Engineer – Battery Systems Compliance

Overview

We are seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer specializing in compliance for advanced battery systems. This role focuses on ensuring that battery technologies—particularly in prototype and pre-production stages—meet cybersecurity standards and regulatory requirements. The engineer will play a critical role in identifying vulnerabilities through penetration testing and fuzz testing, while supporting secure product development.

Key Responsibilities

Cybersecurity Compliance

• Ensure battery systems comply with relevant cybersecurity standards and regulations (e.g., ISO/SAE 21434, IEC 62443, UN R155 where applicable)

• Develop and maintain cybersecurity compliance documentation, including risk assessments and mitigation strategies

• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security requirements into system design and development

• Support internal and external audits, including regulatory and certification processes

Prototype Security Testing

• Perform security assessments on early-stage battery system prototypes

• Identify design vulnerabilities in embedded systems, BMS (Battery Management Systems), and communication interfaces

• Provide actionable recommendations to improve system security before production

Penetration Testing

• Conduct penetration tests on battery systems, including hardware, firmware, and communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, etc.)

• Simulate real-world attack scenarios to uncover security weaknesses

• Document findings, risk levels, and remediation strategies

Fuzz Testing

• Design and implement fuzz testing strategies targeting embedded software and communication interfaces

• Use automated tools to identify unexpected behavior, crashes, and vulnerabilities

• Analyze fuzzing results and work with development teams to resolve issues

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

• 3+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, preferably in embedded systems or automotive/energy sectors

• Hands-on experience with penetration testing and fuzz testing techniques

• Knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, or TCP/IP

Qualifications

• Experience with Automotive Cybersecurity principles/ Ideally with Battery Management Systems (BMS) or energy storage systems

• Knowledge of automotive or industrial cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434, IEC 62443, etc.)

• Familiarity with hardware security testing (e.g., JTAG, side-channel analysis)

• Experience with embedded Linux or RTOS environments

• Relevant certifications (e.g., OSCP, CEH, CISSP)

Deliverables

• Identification and mitigation of critical vulnerabilities before product release

• Successful compliance with applicable cybersecurity regulations

• Seamless integration of security practices into engineering workflows

• Clear and actionable reporting to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
