Senior Cybersecurity Engineer

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 test and engineering services for new vehicle technologies? Do you want to contribute to the future of global road transport solutions? If you are a dynamic and proactive Cybersecurity Engineer this could be the role for you!

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.

We are recruiting a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to join our growing team and help us implement and develop advanced services through long-term targeted research, advanced test development and key investments to ensure that our customers are ready for the challenges ahead.

We are offering the chance to work in a world-class, independent engineering consultancy, operating in multiple locations around the world, to support vehicle manufacturers and their supply chain with cutting-edge engineering and testing expertise. We offer full-system design, test and integration expertise to automotive, defence, rail and transport industries and also specialise in developing low carbon and autonomous and co-operative driving technologies.

At our headquarters in the Midlands, we have access to one of the most comprehensive vehicle proving grounds which boasts 93km of test tracks and over 35 world-class test facilities and laboratories.  Our facilities, combined with the engineering expertise of our 600 strong team makes MIRA Technology Park Europe’s number one location for transport sector R&D.
