Professionals Wanted: IT Security Architect (d/m/f/x)

Aufgaben The Charging Unit at Mercedes-Benz Mobility:
Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG (MBM), with approximately 10,000 employees, specializes in financial and mobility services. The offerings range from financing, leasing, vehicle subscriptions and rentals, fleet management, digital services around charging and payment, insurance brokerage, to innovative mobility services. In the coming years, Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG will continue to focus on the 5 strategic dimensions of MBM 2025, one of which is Electrify our future. On the path to "electric only" charging is a crucial factor. We want charging at Mercedes-Benz to become a special customer experience. To build this holistic charging ecosystem as quickly as possible, we are establishing the Charging Unit at MBM, which consists of three pillars: public charging, home charging, and business charging.

Future: Absolutely!
In this exciting phase of technological change, we as a strong team bear the responsibility for the successful implementation of our topics, making a valuable contribution to our "Electric-Only" strategy pillar every day. To achieve this, we work closely together across teams and departments - within the Charging Unit at MBM, but also with our colleagues in sales, development, and IT. Our working method is based on an agile swarm logic and thrives on high flexibility and mutual support - even beyond team, department, and division boundaries. A "partnership-based cooperation" and "individual ownership" are crucial for us. Just as important are the highest standards for the results of our work, the "joy of constructive discourse" in the interest of the best solution. Without personal sensitivities, but with the clear ambition to "think and leap boldly forward."

Electromobility Meets Cybersecurity..
Charging electric vehicles should be convenient and fast. To achieve this, various digital technologies are used. Cybersecurity plays an important role. Charging stations, charging protocols, and cloud-based charging services must be robustly designed and securely implemented to withstand potential hacker attacks, protect users' private data, and pose no risk to critical energy infrastructure. For this, we develop solutions together with our partners, secured with state-of-the-art cybersecurity mechanisms in compliance with international standards.

Your Expected Tasks:

• As an IT Security Architect (x/m/f/d) for charging features and hardware, you play a crucial role in shaping the future of electromobility.
• You ensure the protection of complex subsystems of MBM's own charging ecosystem (wall boxes, charging parks, charging services, and the underlying backends) against attacks throughout their lifecycle.
• You coordinate the protection goals with system owners and project managers, analyze the interfaces of these complex systems, identify threats, and assess risks.
• You define and specify appropriate security concepts, coordinate these with system owners and project managers considering different interests and ensure the implementation of these concepts.
• You plan and manage complex tests in the form of security reviews, code analyses, and penetration tests to verify the protection level of these subsystems.
• You also define and coordinate the typically necessary intensive collaboration with external partners.
• Coordination of IT security goals with system managers and project managers.
• You ensure that our security processes, methods, and technologies always meet the state of the art.
• You are embedded in a cross-departmental group of Information Security Architects (ISA)/Information Security Officers (ISO) within Mercedes-Benz Mobility.
• In addition, you will be part of a Mercedes-Benz-wide team of security architects, particularly from passenger car development, who design the Mercedes-Benz charging experience securely according to state-of-the-art aspects.

What We Expect:

• Completed studies in computer science and cyber security or a comparable field of study.
• Several years of professional experience in the context of Cyber Security, ideally in the context of industrial control systems (ICS) or embedded devices/IoT.
• Experience in creating threat and risk analyses and deriving resulting system requirements.
• Experience in the secure design of industrial control systems (ICS) or IoT as well as their secure connection to cloud backends.
• Recognized certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP, (TISP, TPSSE) are desirable - there is also the opportunity to complete these as part of the onboarding process.
• Knowledge of charging ecosystem architecture is a plus, but not a requirement.
• Distinct ability to work in a team.
• Business fluent English and a good understanding of German.
• High level of self-responsibility and strong conceptual and analytical skills.
• Enjoyment in creative design and contributing own ideas in an organizationally distributed and VUCA environment.
• Enthusiasm for electromobility (both personally / professionally).

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to work in a dynamic and ambitious team.
• The chance to actively shape the future of electric mobility.
• Close collaboration with key partners inside and outside Mercedes-Benz.
• Flexibility of hybrid working with a mix of remote work and office days.
• An environment that fosters creative solutions and entrepreneurial thinking.
