• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients developing regulated embedded products.
• Provide expert guidance across the full cybersecurity architecture, including:
• Secure boot and root-of-trust implementation
• Cryptographic key management and provisioning
• Encryption and authentication, hash functions, digital signatures, authentications, protocols, tunneling, IPsec key exchange, secure storage
• Intrusion detection and runtime monitoring
• Hardware and software tamper-evident mechanisms
• Secure system architecture and threat mitigation strategies
• Act as the authoritative engineering voice for cybersecurity solutions within embedded medical devices.

Proposals and Estimation:

• Support business development and project planning through technical leadership.
• Collaborate internally and with customers to develop work breakdown structures.
• Create development estimates and technical scopes to support proposals.
• Contribute to project planning and resource allocation.

Lead Development:

• Perform or lead technical execution of cybersecurity solutions across the development lifecycle.
• Decompose complex engineering tasks to support planning and implementation.
• Research and evaluate emerging cybersecurity technologies.
• Develop prototypes and proof-of-concept implementations.
• Lead implementation efforts with internal engineering teams and external partners.
• Hands-on implementation of secure solutions.

Advocacy for Secure Development:

• Promote best practices in secure development within regulated product environments.
• Help organizations implement security-by-design principles and integrate cybersecurity into their development processes.

Problem Solving and Risk Analysis:

• Analyze technical challenges faced by clients and identify potential security and regulatory risks.
• Develop practical engineering solutions that support successful product development and compliance.

Qualifications:

Industry Experience:

• Minimum 10 years of experience developing cybersecurity solutions for embedded systems.
• Familiarity or direct experience implementing typical secure controls for embedded systems in regulated domains.
• At least 5 years in services-based engineering or consulting roles.
• Strong background in software and systems engineering for embedded platforms, Linux, Yocto, microcontroller, SoM development.

Standards and Regulatory Knowledge:

• Preferred familiarity with relevant cybersecurity standards and regulatory frameworks, including:
