About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Security Analyst to help define and scale security assurance and global compliance practices across our engineering and product organizations. In this role, you will turn security and regulatory expectations into practical frameworks, tools, reviews, and reporting that teams can adopt and use effectively.

You will help shape our Security Development Lifecycle, improve the way security processes are delivered, conduct security and compliance reviews, and support readiness for requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, IEC 62443, and automotive cybersecurity standards.

What You Will Do:

Define SDL requirements, lifecycle checkpoints, control objectives, and evidence expectations.
Create adoption frameworks and evaluate tools that make secure engineering, evidence collection, and reporting practical and repeatable.
Conduct security reviews, CRA and compliance assessments, readiness reviews, and focused security hackathons.
Coordinate with notified bodies and internal stakeholders on CRA evidence, reporting, and certification-readiness activities.
Support customers whose products integrate Altera FPGAs by helping interpret security requirements, identify evidence needs, and coordinate product-certification readiness.
Track findings and remediation plans, validate corrective actions, and report status to technical and leadership audiences.

Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
