Member of Technical Staff, Microsoft Robotics (Robot Security & Safety) | Microsoft Careers

What you'll do

• Design end-to-end security architectures for robotic systems across hardware and software layers.
• Develop safety analyses and threat models specific to robotic systems in human environments.
• Define and enforce runtime safety monitors for autonomous robot behaviors under various failure conditions.
• Analyze security metrics and telemetry data to identify trends and implement mitigation strategies.
• Scale solutions to address identified security control issues and current threats specific to robotics deployments.
• Implement incident response processes for robotics-specific security and safety events, including physical incidents.

What we're looking for

• Extensive experience with functional safety standards and methodologies applied to robotic or autonomous systems.
• Proficient in AI safety practices including runtime monitoring of autonomous system behaviors and red-teaming AI-enabled physical systems.
• Expertise in robotics system architectures, ROS/ROS2 security models, and cloud-to-edge communication security for robot fleets.
• Industry certifications in cybersecurity or functional safety are preferred (e.g., CISSP, GICSP, CEH, TUV, CFSE).
• Background in IoT security, embedded systems security, or operational technology (OT) security for connected physical devices.
• Experience developing and executing security breach drills, tabletop exercises, or incident response simulations for cyber-physical systems.
