Innovation. Sustainability. Productivity. This is how we are Breaking New Ground in our mission to sustainably advance the noble work of farmers and builders everywhere. With a growing global population and increased demands on resources, our products are instrumental to feeding and sheltering the world.

From developing products that run on alternative power to productivity-enhancing precision tech, we are delivering solutions that benefit people - and they are possible thanks to people like you. If the opportunity to build your skills as part of a collaborative, global team excites you, you’re in the right place.

Be part of this company at the forefront of agriculture and construction, that passionately innovates to drive customer efficiency and success. And we know innovation can’t happen without collaboration. So, everything we do at CNH Industrial is about reaching new heights as one team, always delivering for the good of our customers.

You will lead CNH's product security team, with responsibility for securing the embedded software running on connected tractors, sprayers, combines and harvesters as well as the cloud platform and digital services those machines depend on. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with full ownership of the function: you will build and grow a team of cloud and embedded security engineers, own the product security budget and investment roadmap, set security strategy for the product portfolio, and own the global compliance posture that allows CNH products to ship into every market we serve.

Agricultural and construction equipment is now software-defined, connected, and increasingly autonomous - and regulators, dealers, and customers all expect it to be secure. You will be the person accountable for making that true, from the secure boot chain on an ECU through to the APIs and data pipelines that make up CNH's next generation digital platform.
