• Lead development of cloud‑based device features, including data ingestion, device identity, and OTA update mechanisms
• Establish processes and best practices for secure device connectivity and data protection
• Collaborate with cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, regulatory, and quality teams to ensure compliant and resilient designs
• Ensure adherence to IEC 62304, ISO 14971, FDA regulations, and global cybersecurity expectations for medical devices
• Contribute to system‑level risk analyses and threat modeling
• Mentor engineers in secure cloud design, cybersecurity principles, and regulated‑system development
• Drive continuous improvement of security processes, tooling, and lifecycle management

What You will have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or related field

• 3+ years in a software architect, principal engineer, or cybersecurity‑focused technical leadership role
• Experience designing secure connectivity for embedded or IoT devices, preferably in regulated industries
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity principles: encryption, key management, secure boot, identity management, threat modeling, and secure OTA updates
• Proven experience with Class II or Class III medical devices or similarly regulated, high‑assurance environments (defense, aerospace, industrial automation, home security systems)
• Deep familiarity with one or all of the following: IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, and FDA QSRs
• Experience defining security architecture for device‑to‑cloud systems
• Proficiency with Git, requirements management tools (DOORS, Jama), and issue tracking systems (Jira)
• Excellent communication skills and ability to lead in a fast‑paced, small‑team environment

What will set You apart:

• Experience with AWS/Azure/GCP IoT services
