Develop and maintain security risk assessments, SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), and incident response plans.
Support regulatory submissions by preparing cybersecurity documentation and responding to agency inquiries.
Monitor emerging threats and vulnerabilities relevant to implantable devices and recommend mitigation strategies.
Contribute to security architecture reviews, code reviews, and secure firmware/software development practices.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, with at least 2+ years in the medical device or regulated industry.
Deep understanding of embedded systems security, wireless communication protocols (e.g., BLE, NFC), and cryptographic methods.
Familiarity with FDA cybersecurity guidance, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and risk management frameworks (e.g., NIST RMF, MITRE ATT&CK).
Experience with penetration testing tools (e.g., Metasploit, Burp Suite), static/dynamic code analysis, and secure boot/firmware validation.
Strong documentation and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and regulatory engagement.
