In the analysis and further development of existing methods and tools for risk and threat analysis, you take an active role
Through the further development and evaluation of rule-based functions, you support our risk analyses in a targeted manner
As part of the team, you derive suitable security controls in embedded software, implement them prototypically and evaluate the results
With the conception, execution and evaluation of security tests, such as fuzzing, interface or robustness tests, you deepen your practical know-how
In close cooperation with the team, you contribute your analytical skills to the entire development process

A degree in Computer Science, Embedded Systems Engineering or Microsystems Technology forms your technical basis
Initial practical experience or deep interest in the field of Cyber Security, Embedded Systems or Software Development, ideally complemented by exposure to risk analyses, threat modeling or secure software development
Basic knowledge in software development, preferably in C/C++ and/or Python, as well as interest in embedded software and communication interfaces characterize you
With a basic understanding of cybersecurity concepts such as authentication, cryptography, secure boot, access control or vulnerability management, you approach your topics soundly
Through your structured and independent way of working, your analytical and conceptual thinking skills and your initiative, you develop new fields of tasks with a willingness to learn; good English skills in word and writing round off your profile, German skills are an advantage
