Met Test Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies is a joint venture between two industry leaders with a clear vision for automotive’s next chapter. From operating systems to zonal controllers to cloud and connectivity solutions, we’re addressing the challenges of electric vehicles through technology that will set the standards for software-defined vehicles around the world.

The road to the future is uncharted. By combining our expertise across connectivity, AI, security and more, we’ll map a new way forward. Working together, we’ll create a future that’s more connected, more intelligent, more sustainable for everyone.

As the Product Security Engineer, you will work closely with the product security organization, the vehicle software development teams, and cloud engineering teams to drive the product development lifecycle for security-related items. Activities comprise

• the creation of threat assessments and risk analyzes for ECUs and features in the RVT automotive ecosystem,
• derivation of top-level requirements to system requirements specifications, creation of test cases
• creation of UN R155-compliant documentation to support the CSMS homologation activities,
• pro-active role in the definition of risk treatments, security controls, design and engineering of security technologies.

You will play a critical role in ensuring security and resilience of RVT’s products, providing technical leadership in securing vehicles and related infrastructure.

• ECU-level and feature-based threat assessments and risk analyses of ECUs and features: From the assets’ definition, identify threat scenarios, calculate risk values, analyze safety, financial, operational, privacy impacts and evaluate the attack potential. Make use of state-of-the-art risk analysis and treatment frameworks like STRIDE or MITRE EMB3D.
• Derivation of top-level requirements to security-related system and subsystem requirements: In collaboration with the security architecture team, you’ll decompose high-level requirements into concrete per-system security requirements. Together with the security and other domain development teams, you’ll generate concrete requirement specifications for security technologies that protect our product-related assets.
• Carrying out validation of security requirements: You will develop security tests, both positive tests and abuse tests to ensure that security requirements have been met at vehicle, system, sub-system and ECU level.
• Develop both manual and automated test cases: You will develop both functional and non-functional security tests to ensure that security requirements are met. Test cases could be developed in multiple languages, including but not limited to Python, Go, Java, C, C++, and Rust for multiple architectures. You are able to build test cases that can be run on software-in-the-loop (SIL) setups or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) benches. You’re able to work with internally-developed sources but you can also deal with the validating of supplier parts to meet our requirements without access to source code.
• Documenting validation testing: You will develop testing reports, triage them and compile results, and share them with the product security team as well as our core JV partners for evidence to enable their documenting compliance to UN R155. You will work with the GRC team on aligning to document formats and following our CSMS processes for generating and sharing this documentation across the organization.
• Collaborating with software development teams: You will be sharing results with development teams and reviewing issues and suggesting mitigations to failed tests. This includes validating the subsequent fixes and the collaboration with other teams within the product security organization, especially the security engineering team that operate the security HILs.

• M.Sc. in Information Security, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years carrying out risk analyzes, testing, and validation of security requirements in embedded device development
• 5+ years of experience in automotive industry or embedded device development
• 3+ years of experience carrying out security requirements validation on ECUs (electronic control units)
• Knowledge of ISO:21434 and UN R155 and their application with regards to security validation to achieve type approval and homologation.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment.
• Good team player with excellent communication skills.
• Hands-on approach, proactively identifying and filling in gaps where needed
