Automotive Cybersecurity Specialist

About the Company

At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development.

About the Role

You will help strengthen cybersecurity in a complex automotive environment where electrical architecture, system safety, and connected vehicle technologies are central. The focus is on in-vehicle systems and on making sure cybersecurity requirements, processes, and standards are built into development from the start.

You will work across the full development cycle, close to engineering teams, IT, and suppliers. That means moving between risk analysis, security concept design, requirement setting, reviews, and validation activities in projects where cybersecurity needs to work in practice. You will have a broad interface and contribute with both technical depth and practical recommendations in ongoing vehicle programs.

This is a strong opportunity for you who enjoy combining hands-on cybersecurity work with influence across disciplines. What makes the role especially interesting is the chance to shape cybersecurity end to end in vehicle development, from early concept work to verification and validation.
