TL;DR · Principal Product Security Engineer, Medical Device

The Principal Product Security Engineer joins the Cardiac Ablation Solutions R&D organization to secure medical device solutions and embedded systems. This technical role focuses on cybersecurity for real-time systems, embedded firmware, and connected devices rather than IT or GRC functions. You will serve as a subject matter expert to integrate advanced security controls, conduct threat modeling, perform vulnerability assessments, and implement features like secure boot, data protection, and software update mechanisms. The role requires expertise in the medical device development lifecycle, utilizing frameworks such as NIST, OWASP, and IEC 81001-5-1. You will collaborate with engineering teams to build cyber resilience across the product lifecycle while ensuring compliance with FDA guidance. Essential skills include experience in embedded device security within regulated industries, secure software development practices, and knowledge of connected healthcare systems or cloud-connected medical devices.

What you'll do

  • Implement security requirements across the medical device development lifecycle from design through deployment.
  • Conduct threat modeling and vulnerability assessments to identify and mitigate risks throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Design and deliver secure features including secure boot, communications, data protection, and update mechanisms.
  • Apply medical device cybersecurity standards such as NIST, OWASP, and IEC 81001-5-1 to development practices.
  • Serve as a technical subject matter expert to mentor others and drive long-term security strategy.
  • Monitor and share best practices regarding emerging cybersecurity trends affecting medical devices and health software.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree with 7 years of experience, a Master's with 5 years, or a PhD with 3 years of relevant experience is required.
  • Experience in embedded device security within a regulated industry is required.
  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity concepts and frameworks such as NIST and OWASP is required.
  • Deep knowledge of secure software development lifecycle principles and security-by-design practices (preferred).
  • Experience collaborating with engineering teams to identify and address product security risks (preferred).
  • Familiarity with medical device standards including IEC 81001-5-1, ISO 14971, and FDA guidance (preferred).
  • Experience supporting FDA or other regulatory cybersecurity submissions (preferred).
  • Work authorization at the time of hire and for the duration of employment.
