We are seeking a hands-on Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to lead the implementation and operation of cybersecurity controls across robotic and IoT environments.This role focuses on engineering and operational cybersecurity, ensuring the secure deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of robotic systems in production. The incumbent will work closely with engineering, SOC, and governance teams to enhance cyber resilience while maintaining safety and operational continuity.________________________________________Key Responsibilities1. Secure Architecture & EngineeringDesign and implement secure architectures across robots, controllers, edge, and cloud platforms Implement device hardening, secure boot, and firmware integrity controls Integrate cybersecurity practices into the robotics SDLC (DevSecOps) Identify and mitigate attack surfaces across the system lifecycle 2. Fleet Security OperationsMaintain asset inventory and configuration baselines for robotic systems Ensure secure provisioning and deployment of devices Monitor fleet security posture and investigate anomalies Detect and analyse robotics-specific threats (e.g. spoofing, command injection, firmware tampering) 3. Vulnerability & Patch ManagementManage vulnerabilities across operating systems, firmware, and dependencies Implement risk-based patching aligned with operational constraints Oversee secure OTA updates (code signing, staged deployment, rollback protection) Support software supply chain security practices (e.g. SBOM) 4. Identity & Access ManagementImplement authentication and authorisation controls for users and devices Manage device identity and certificate lifecycle (PKI) Enforce least privilege and privileged access controls 5. Network & Communication SecurityImplement IT/OT segmentation and secure network architecture Secure communications (TLS, VPN, Zero Trust principles) Ensure secure connectivity for mobile robotic platforms (e.g. WiFi, 5G) 6. Monitoring & Incident ResponseIntegrate robotic telemetry into SOC/SIEM platforms Monitor for threats and respond to cybersecurity incidents Execute containment actions (e.g. isolation, safe shutdown) Support validation of cyber-triggered fail-safe mechanisms 7. Safety & Governance AlignmentEnsure cybersecurity controls do not compromise safety systems Support alignment with relevant cybersecurity and safety standards (e.g. NIST, ISO, IEC) Collaborate with internal teams and external partners on threat scenarios and risk initiatives ________________________________________Key AccountabilitiesLead the execution of cybersecurity controls for robotic systems Maintain secure and resilient operations across robotic environments Drive measurable improvements in cybersecurity posture (e.g. patching timelines, incident response effectiveness) Support the secure onboarding and validation of third-party robotic systems Skills & QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline 8–12+ years of cybersecurity experience, with strong hands-on technical exposure Experience in IoT, OT, or robotics environments preferred Background in security engineering, incident response, or infrastructure security Strong understanding of Linux systems, networking, and security controls Experience in vulnerability management, incident response, and secure architecture design Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and IoT/robotics architectures Knowledge of frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or IEC 62443
