👩💻 Your Impact

As Product Cybersecurity Engineer, you'll make sure the connected medical devices that people living with diabetes rely on every day are secure by design. You'll drive cybersecurity engineering across our devices, apps and supporting systems, from first concept through to post-market surveillance, embedding security into our software and hardware architectures so our products stay safe, effective and compliant.

This is where trust gets built into every design decision. As connected care grows and regulatory expectations rise across the EU and US, you'll be the person who turns an evolving threat landscape into clear requirements, works hands-on with engineers to get the controls right, and gives patients, clinicians and regulators every reason to rely on what we build.

🔧 What You’ll Take On

In your role, you will:

• Lead product security analyses, including threat modelling, cybersecurity risk assessments and security concept reviews for our devices, mobile apps and connected components.
• Translate identified threats and risks into technical cybersecurity requirements that support compliance with IEC 81001-5-1, IEC 62304 and applicable EU and FDA cybersecurity expectations.
• Partner hands-on with development teams to decide on and verify the correct implementation of security mechanisms and controls, such as secure boot, secure update and cryptographic key handling.
• Develop requirements, specifications, and software test plans and protocols where needed.
• Perform and support security verification and validation, including coordinating penetration tests, and produce the associated quality system and regulatory documentation.
• Support incident response, vulnerability handling, SBOM maintenance and post-market security monitoring in line with regulatory requirements.
• Create and maintain the cybersecurity procedures, templates and work instructions that shape how we build secure products.
• Collaborate with product owners, engineering teams, suppliers and external partners, communicating security risk clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape, security standards and regulatory guidance, bringing expert input that strengthens product robustness and compliance.
