You will work closely with software developers, system testers and verification engineers while also collaborating with global
cybersecurity stakeholders.

Support development teams with cybersecurity requirements and secure development practices.
Work with vulnerability management, including identification, assessment, tracking and remediation.
Perform or support penetration testing and security testing of embedded and software-based products.
Work with cybersecurity tools and vulnerability tracking solutions.
Ensure development projects follow established internal cybersecurity processes.
Communicate cybersecurity status, risks and requirements to local and global stakeholders.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of cybersecurity processes and ways of working at a global level.
Collaborate closely with software development, system testing and verification teams.
TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT
Embedded systems / bare-metal products
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
VxWorks
Legacy embedded operating systems
Windows-based software environments
Vulnerability management and vulnerability tracking
Penetration and robustness testing tools, including Achilles
Threat modelling

YOUR BACKGROUND
We believe you have solid experience within product cybersecurity, preferably from embedded, industrial, automotive, telecom,
defence, energy or similar product-development environments.
Relevant experience includes:

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The assignment is based near Stockholm. The current setup is flexible and needs-driven, but the long-term expectation is
approximately three days per week on-site, depending on project activities.
You must therefore be able to work regularly on-site in the Stockholm area.
Required languages: Swedish and English
