• Strong expertise in cybersecurity for embedded or safety-critical systems, ideally in the aerospace or defense domain;
• Proven experience with airworthiness security standards (DO-326A / ED-202A / DO-355 / DO-356A) or equivalent frameworks (ISO/SAE 21434, IEC 62443);
• Thorough understanding of DO-178C, ARP4754A, and DO-254 (or relevant equivalent) development processes is a strong asset;
• Demonstrated proficiency in threat modeling, secure coding practices, and risk analysis (SRA);
• Relevant exposure and interactions with certification authorities (or delegates) and Stage Of Involvement meetings
• Relevant cybersecurity certifications (CISSP, GICSP, or equivalent) are a plus;
• Ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams (architecture, software, safety, verification);
