Lead Vehicle Cybersecurity Engineer (m/f/d)

You are securing the vehicles that Europe's businesses will rely on tomorrow.

At HEERO Motors, we are developing the next generation of electric commercial vehicles – Designed in Munich, built for trades, logistics, and municipalities. Our chassis is connected from day one: Telematics, Over-the-Air Updates, HEERO Cloud. This means cybersecurity isn't just a check-point at the end, but the foundation of reliability – and reliability is our real currency.

We're not looking for someone who manages requirements. We're looking for someone who solves them. You will build the cybersecurity for our next generation, work hands-on with vehicle software yourself, and be the point of contact for our development partners that no release can bypass.

What you will be responsible for

• Next-generation cybersecurity end-to-end: from the control unit and telematics to the HEERO Cloud

• Hands-on with software: creating Threat Analysis & Risk Assessments (TARA), implementing security concepts, reviewing code and architectures, analyzing and closing vulnerabilities yourself

• Building CSMS and SUMS: our Cybersecurity and Software Update Management according to UN R155, UN R156, and ISO/SAE 21434 – in a way that supports type approval

• Managing partners: technically leading vehicle, software, and cloud partners, defining requirements, demanding evidence, driving high-level coordination

• Secure throughout the lifecycle: monitoring, incident response, and secure OTA processes for a fleet that will be in use for years

• Bridge to homologation: delivering cybersecurity evidence for technical services and authorities together with our Homologation Lead

What you bring to the table

• Several years of experience in automotive cybersecurity, ideally with an OEM, Tier 1, or engineering service provider

• Deep understanding of vehicle E/E architectures, embedded and backend systems; you read and write code

• Practical experience with UN R155/R156 and ISO/SAE 21434 – not just on slides, but in audits

• Experience in managing external development partners, preferably internationally

• Entrepreneurial mindset: You make decisions, implement them, and stand by the results

• Very good German and English skills

What we offer

• Scope for development that doesn't exist in large corporations: You will define cybersecurity for an entire vehicle generation

• An AI-native company where AI is the operating model, not just a tool

• Short communication lines to management and the board, quick decision-making

• A team that is taking the backbone of the European economy into the future, electrically powered

In addition: hybrid working with a mobile component, corporate benefits, good public transport connections, free parking, and regular team events.

Build with us the generation that businesses can rely on. Apply with your resume and two to three sentences about what you would implement in your first 100 days at HEERO.
