Employment Information

At BMW Car IT, a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW AG, we live and breathe software. We design and implement embedded software for electronic control units of the BMW cars as well as related tools and frameworks. By delivering software all the way from the idea to the final product we lead BMW into the future of digitalization and mobility.


The infotainment system, with its many external interfaces (e.g., LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB) and high software complexity, has a large attack surface. We, as automotive security engineers, work passionately to protect our cars from attackers.


We need your help to secure the infotainment system against attacks, no matter if they come over the air or from attackers with physical access to the vehicle.


What awaits you?

  • In the challenging environment of highly complex modern connected cars, you can apply your knowledge in hardware security, application security, cryptography, network security, and other security domains.
  • Your structured approach derives test cases in areas that are not completely covered so far and makes sure that our security shield is a 100% operational for all software releases.
  • In your daily work, you automate test cases (e.g., Python test suite which can run in our CI) to ensure that the desired security measures are working as expected.
  • You work together with our suppliers, support them in developing a test strategy to validate functionality and quality of their deliveries and monitor test execution.
  • You define and manage penetration tests (and code reviews) performed by the suppliers and external partners.


What you should bring along?

  • University degree in Computer Science or a comparable field of study, ideally with a security focus.
  • You can successfully blend deep-technical understanding of cyber security and hands-on experience in test automation with test management skills.
  • A good understanding of Linux/Android security mechanisms (for example Linux permissions, SELinux, Android permissions model, RPC security).
  • Overview of security principles, latest techniques, and operating system features (for example, secure boot, disk encryption, integrity protection, Linux kernel hardening).
  • Experience in developing tests and utilities in Python.
  • Structured approach to testing.
  • Proven track of records in coordinating testing activities across teams and departments.
  • ISTQB certification is beneficial but not required.
  • A background in penetration testing is beneficial but not required.
  • You enjoy explaining technical ideas and are a strong communicator.
  • Business-fluent English is required, German would be an advantage.
