  • Design, develop, deploy, and operate security infrastructure services, including Key Management Systems (KMS), manufacturing provisioning services, Certificate Authorities (CA), and code-signing infrastructure.
  • Define and implement APIs, protocols, and services for the secure enumeration, configuration, and management of platform assets.
  • Develop and maintain policies, procedures, and controls for cryptographic key generation, handling, lifecycle management, and access governance.
  • Interface with manufacturing partners to support, troubleshoot, and resolve security provisioning issues.
  • Partner with software development teams to enable hosting platforms, tooling, SDKs, and integration components for internal and external consumers.

  • Foundational experience with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), including PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) interface usage, code-signing services, secure payload decryption, certificate signing, and device identity generation.
  • Ability to understand complex systems, particularly within vehicle architectures and manufacturing workflows.
  • Strong understanding of security concepts, including secure key generation and delivery, access control mechanisms and token-based authorization, multi-party authorization (e.g., n-of-m approval schemes), and cryptographic primitives and secure communication protocols.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
  • Strong collaboration skills, openness in communication, resilience, and a high sense of ownership.
  • Automotive cybersecurity experience, ideally within a Tier-1 supplier or OEM environment.
  • Hands-on experience with HSM deployment, maintenance, backup, and recovery; code-signing infrastructure and access control systems; web services deployment and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience with containerized and cloud-native technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Amazon ECS.
  • Familiarity with CloudHSM technologies.
  • Experience with Utimaco HSMs, including firmware configuration and management.
