Position Overview: This role focuses on cybersecurity risk assessment and secure architecture design specifically for railway systems. The responsibilities are strategic and analytical — not operational or hands-on.

• Conduct risk analyses for railway subsystems and components.
• Define secure system architectures and establish security requirements across critical areas.
• Identify protection points and recommend robust risk mitigation strategies.
• Ensure compliance with relevant cybersecurity standards and regulations (IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIS2).
• Work collaboratively with systems, software, and safety teams to align cybersecurity efforts.
• Validate cybersecurity implementations through structured reviews, analysis, and testing.
• Support the development of cybersecurity validation strategies and confirm system resilience.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders, clients, and suppliers as part of multidisciplinary project teams.
• Prepare comprehensive documentation, including security cases, compliance reports, and risk management plans.

Essential Requirements:

• Master’s degree in cybersecurity, engineering, computer science, or related field.
• Strong knowledge of cybersecurity principles, risk assessment, and secure system design.
• Understanding of security systems and regulatory compliance for safety-critical environments.
• Proficient in technical documentation and regulatory reporting.
• Fluent in English; knowledge of French, German, or Italian is advantageous.

Valuable Experience:

• Familiarity with railway signaling or other complex safety-critical infrastructure.
• Experience with ISO 27001 and IEC standards in transportation or industrial domains.
• Insight into security governance, validation, and compliance processes for large-scale systems.

We are looking for candidates who thrive in analytical and strategic settings, with a passion for bolstering cybersecurity in complex transportation systems. The ideal profile is defined by a methodical mindset, strong reasoning skills, and a capacity for independent work. Successful candidates demonstrate a clear aptitude for risk assessment and secure architecture, excelling in the interpretation and application of regulations and security frameworks.

• Analytical Thinker: You possess a natural ability to assess intricate systems, identify vulnerabilities, and propose effective mitigation strategies. You are detail-oriented, systematic, and draw logical conclusions from technical data.
• Autonomous and Self-Motivated: We value individuals who are comfortable working with minimal supervision, showing initiative and responsibility in managing their projects and priorities.
• Strong Communicator: You can articulate complex cybersecurity principles in clear, accessible language, enabling effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, clients, and suppliers. Fluency in English is essential; proficiency in French, German, or Italian is a valuable asset.
• Collaborative Attitude: You know how to work cooperatively with engineering, software, and safety experts, contributing your perspective while respecting other disciplines.
• Solid Academic or Professional Foundation: Master’s level education in cybersecurity, engineering, computer science, or related field has prepared you for high-level risk analysis and secure design. Academic experience is valued, making this role accessible to recent graduates with the right focus.
• Documentation and Compliance Minded: Candidates have experience preparing clear, precise technical documentation and reports, with a keen understanding of regulatory standards like IEC 62443, ISO 27001, and NIS2.
• Results-Focused: You are motivated by ensuring that cybersecurity requirements are not only defined but also validated and maintained within railway or other safety-critical environments.
• Bonus Qualities: Familiarity with railway signaling, transportation cybersecurity, or broader system validation processes is a plus. An understanding of security governance and system resilience will set you apart.

If you embody these strengths—analytical, self-driven, collaborative, and detail-oriented—we believe you will excel and make a significant impact in our cybersecurity engineering function.
