Description

Are you a Cybersecurity Engineer looking for your next challenge? Do you want to be part of a growing team that develop and deliver advanced engineering and test services for new vehicle technologies? Do you want to contribute to the future of global road transport solutions?

 

We are recruiting multiple Senior Cybersecurity Engineers to join our growing team and help us deliver consultancy and targeted research and development programmes to ensure that our customers are ready for the challenges ahead.

 

As off-board information relating to the current environment and position of a vehicle become key, and the role of the driver is progressively being removed from vehicle control; the electronic systems that replace the human inputs need to provide extremely high levels of dependability to ensure public acceptability of these technologies. The implications of new technologies for connectivity, autonomy and electromobility are driving significant changes in the way that the industry must engineer, test and verify next-generation transport solutions.
