Lead all cybersecurity homologation, certification, and testing activities for Energy and Charging products across the EMEA region.

Develop and execute the compliance strategy for a multitude of upcoming cybersecurity regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act and delegated acts of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

Serve as the primary technical point of contact for cybersecurity-related inquiries and investigations from market surveillance authorities.

Plan, coordinate, and execute vulnerability assessments and penetration testing activities to proactively identify and mitigate security risks in our products.

Translate complex cybersecurity standards (e.g., IEC 18031, ETSI EN 303 645) into actionable design and testing requirements for hardware and software engineering teams.

Manage relationships with third-party labs and certification bodies for all cybersecurity-related testing and approvals.

Proactively monitor the global threat landscape and evolving regulations to inform product development and ensure a long-term, sustainable compliance strategy.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree or higher in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, with a minimum of 3 years of experience in a product cybersecurity, compliance, or homologation role.

Expert-level knowledge of cybersecurity principles and standards applicable to IoT or connected industrial products, such as IEC 62443, ETSI EN 303 645, and familiarity with foundational cryptographic standards like the ISO/IEC 18031 series.

Deep, practical understanding of emerging European cybersecurity legislation, including the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and relevant articles of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

Hands-on experience with security assessment tools and methodologies, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and threat modeling.

Proven ability to manage complex certification projects with test labs and regulatory authorities specifically within the cybersecurity domain.

Experience responding to inquiries or investigations from government or market surveillance authorities is a significant advantage.

Strong communication skills to articulate complex security risks and compliance requirements to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
