• Provide technical guidance to software development teams when required, including support for design reviews, implementation discussions, and complex problem resolution.
• Document test strategies, results, recommendations, and supporting evidence clearly, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on remediation and continuous improvement.

The skills you bring:

• Hands-on experience with nodal-level or virtualized network functions in telecom or similar distributed systems, including lab build, deployment, and system-level verification.
• Strong background in radio security engineering and end-to-end verification, supported by Linux, networking, automation, and field-debugging expertise.
• Minimum 5 yearsof industry experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, vulnerability assessment, secure software development, or related security domains.
• Solid understanding of key network and security protocols such as IPsec/IKEv2, TLS, SNMP, and LDAP, with the ability to interpret protocol traces.
• Practical development experience with C/C++, Python, embedded Linux, Git/Gerrit, code reviews, debugging, and unit testing.
• Experience with security testing workflows and tools such as fuzzing suites, web security tools, vulnerability scanners, SBOM/SCA tools, and packet analyzers.
• Practical experience using AI or scripting to automate security and verification workflows, orchestrate multiple tools, and generate structured reports.

Nice to have:

• Background in radio or access network hardware, or previous collaboration with hardware design and validation teams.
• Experience integrating security and verification tooling into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps-style environments.
• Familiarity with secure software development models such as SSDF and creating documentation, guidelines, or design rules for development teams.
• Experience with threat and risk analysis at system or feature level.
• A self-driven mindset for continuous security learning, including participation in external security forums, communities, or standards activities.
• Security-related certifications such as CISSP, GSEC, OSCP, or similar.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity standards, regulations, and emerging technologies relevant to radio products, including ISO 27001, ISO 21434, IEC 62443, the EU Radio Equipment Directive, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIST cybersecurity guidance, and post-quantum cryptography principles.
