For quick apply, please reach out to Fardeen Ali at /
We are seeking a Cybersecurity Key Provisioning Process Engineer to join our Vehicle Cybersecurity organization. This role sits at the intersection of automotive engineering, cryptographic security architecture, and manufacturing operations, owning the end-to-end process by which cryptographic key material is defined, provisioned, and secured across every Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and vehicle program. The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who can translate cryptographic and security requirements into concrete engineering specifications, drive supplier accountability through audit and integration, and operate our backend Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Key Management System (KMS) to deliver secure keys at scale. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring fluency in cybersecurity engineering, supplier quality and manufacturing processes, and product key management systems. The role involves the development and governance of security policies and procedures, review of security controls and their efficiency, and monitoring processes for compliance risk and vulnerabilities. The role also specializes in managing third-party security risk programs.
Skills RequiredEmbedded Systems, Auditing, Cybersecurity, Compliance
Skills PreferredISO 27001, Supply Chain Operations
Experience RequiredOwn and facilitate the process for defining, documenting, and approving cryptographic key requirements-including algorithms, key lengths, key hierarchies, usage policies, and rotation/expiry rules-for each ECU type and vehicle program.Serve as the central point of coordination between vehicle program teams, ECU feature owners, and cybersecurity architecture to ensure requirements are complete, consistent, and traceable across program timelines.Conduct technical audits of Tier 1 supplier manufacturing sites and processes to validate conformance to cybersecurity requirements.Assess supplier readiness against cryptographic and secure manufacturing requirements; identify gaps and drive corrective action plans.Establish and monitor supplier compliance metrics, escalating nonconformances through appropriate governance channels.Partner with cybersecurity architects, ECU/software engineering teams, vehicle program management, procurement, and manufacturing to define cryptographic key requirements tailored to each ECU's function, threat model, and program constraints.Orchestrate the technical implementation of approved key requirements within backend PKI and KMS infrastructure, coordinating with platform and IT teams responsible for these systems.Define and manage key lifecycle workflows within the KMS in alignment with program and supplier timelines.Troubleshoot and resolve issues in the key delivery pipeline between backend systems and supplier manufacturing lines.Author clear and precise technical documentation, specifications, and work instructions covering cryptographic key requirements, provisioning processes, and PKI/KMS interfaces.Cascade approved requirements to relevant internal teams and external suppliers, ensuring proper acknowledgment and implementation.Enforce compliance with documented requirements through audits, design reviews, and program gate reviews.Maintain version control and change management for all specifications.
Experience PreferredFamiliarity with automotive cybersecurity standards, including ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156.Hands-on experience with commercial or in-house PKI/KMS platforms, such as Thales, Entrust, HashiCorp Vault, AWS KMS, or automotive-specific secure provisioning platforms.Experience with the ECU/embedded systems development lifecycle and vehicle program timing.Knowledge of secure manufacturing and provisioning protocols, such as SHE, HSM-based key injection, and secure flashing.Project or process management experience, including Agile, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies.Experience with relevant control frameworks, such as NIST 800-53/800-57, ISO 27001, PCI-HSM, or automotive-specific key management security standards, is a plus.
Education RequiredBachelor's degree
