<p>As an Architect for Embedded Security Mitigations within the Office of Cybersecurity, you will serve as the primary technical authority for the design, development, and maintenance of production-ready embedded security implementations that will be used across vehicle controllers. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will be expected to produce high-quality, production-grade code while providing technical leadership to Embedded Security Engineers (GSR). You will work closely with cross-functional and functional teams-including ECU software, systems engineering, validation, and platform teams-to translate cybersecurity requirements into standardized, reusable embedded implementations. You will bridge high-level cybersecurity requirements and low-level embedded implementation, ensuring our vehicle platforms are resilient against evolving threats.</p> <p>This team's deliverables include source code libraries, prebuilt libraries, and a complete automated test suite intended for broad adoption by ECU programs across the vehicle.</p> <p>Lead architect and developer for vehicle embedded security mitigations</p> <p>What you'll do…</p> <ul> <li>Standardized Implementation: Architect and implement production-ready security mitigations within Classic AUTOSAR, proactively collaborating with controller teams to gather requirements and technical constraints and drive a unified, standard implementation across platforms. </li><li>Hands-on Code Production: Maintain a high level of hands-on involvement by writing and reviewing complex embedded code in C and C++, ensuring it meets Ford quality, performance, and maintainability expectations. </li><li>Technical Leadership: Partner with and guide Embedded Security Engineers (GSR) to execute technical roadmaps and deliver robust, reusable software components. </li><li>Deliverables & Reuse: Drive creation of reusable deliverables (source libraries, prebuilt artifacts, and test suites) with clear APIs, versioning strategy, and integration guidance for ECU teams. </li><li>Lifecycle Management: Own the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) for mitigation implementations, from initial design through production support, maintenance, and hardening. </li><li>Standards Alignment: Ensure implementations align with ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity engineering needs and incorporate diagnostic/security considerations aligned to UDS (ISO 14229-1); demonstrate familiarity with UNECE R155 expectations. </li><li>Workflow: Use GitHub for version control, pull requests, and code reviews. </li><li>Tooling: Experience with at least 2 of the following AUTOSAR implementation/tool ecosystems: Vector, eTAS, Elektrobit. </li><li>Agile Execution: Manage technical debt, feature backlogs, and sprint planning productively within Jira. </li><li>Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with systems engineering, validation, and platform teams to enable seamless integration of security controls across a diverse set of ECUs. </li><li>Testing / V&V: Collaborate with Verification & Validation teams to develop and execute security focused test plans to ensure robust, secure solutions </li></ul> <p>What you'll do…</p> <ul> <li>Standardized Implementation: Architect and implement production-ready security mitigations within Classic AUTOSAR, proactively collaborating with controller teams to gather requirements and technical constraints and drive a unified, standard implementation across platforms. </li><li>Hands-on Code Production: Maintain a high level of hands-on involvement by writing and reviewing complex embedded code in C and C++, ensuring it meets Ford quality, performance, and maintainability expectations. </li><li>Technical Leadership: Partner with and guide Embedded Security Engineers (GSR) to execute technical roadmaps and deliver robust, reusable software components. </li><li>Deliverables & Reuse: Drive creation of reusable deliverables (source libraries, prebuilt artifacts, and test suites) with clear APIs, versioning strategy, and integration guidance for ECU teams. </li><li>Lifecycle Management: Own the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) for mitigation implementations, from initial design through production support, maintenance, and hardening. </li><li>Standards Alignment: Ensure implementations align with ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity engineering needs and incorporate diagnostic/security considerations aligned to UDS (ISO 14229-1); demonstrate familiarity with UNECE R155 expectations. </li><li>Workflow: Use GitHub for version control, pull requests, and code reviews. </li><li>Tooling: Experience with at least 2 of the following AUTOSAR implementation/tool ecosystems: Vector, eTAS, Elektrobit. </li><li>Agile Execution: Manage technical debt, feature backlogs, and sprint planning productively within Jira. </li><li>Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with systems engineering, validation, and platform teams to enable seamless integration of security controls across a diverse set of ECUs. </li><li>Testing / V&V: Collaborate with Verification & Validation teams to develop and execute security focused test plans to ensure robust, secure solutions </li></ul>
