As part of our engineering team, you will solve challenging problems to shape the future of automotive security and make BMW products even more secure. Due to the high complexity of modern connected cars, you can apply your knowledge in hardware security, application security, cryptography, network security, and other security domains.
Key Responsibilities:
- Maintain security features across multiple layers of BMW s Linux distribution: from hardware, bootloader, and kernel to end-user applications.
- Review changes in existing security policies (SELinux, Linux permissions, systemd configuration, etc.).
- Support other teams in implementing secure products.
- Contribute to the configuration and source code of BMW OS security features.
## Qualifications
### Basic Requirements and Education
- Business fluent English.
- University degree in computer science or a comparable field of study, ideally with a security focus.
### Required Experience and Skills
- Hands-on experience in Linux or/and Android security (e.g., Kernel hardening, Linux permissions, systemd, capabilities, namespaces, Linux RPC).
- Knowledge of isolation techniques and containerization mechanisms is a plus.
- Thorough understanding of security principles, latest techniques, and operating system features (e.g., secure boot, disk encryption, SELinux, integrity protection, cryptographic protocols).
- Background in modern software development in one of the languages C++, Java, Kotlin. Experience with Python as a universal tool.
