EngineeringSecurity Engineer

Gravis Robotics is a startup turning heavy construction machines into intelligent and autonomous robots. Our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control enables a single operator to safely manage a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment. With over a decade of academic experience at the cutting edge of large-scale robotics, our team is rapidly translating this expertise into real-world deployments with industry leaders in a trillion-dollar market.

About the Role

~4 min read

At Gravis, we operate at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world deployment. Our Rooftop Autonomous Control Kit (RACK) integrates sensing, compute, communication, and networking into a manufacturer-agnostic solution deployable across a wide range of construction machines.

As Cybersecurity Engineer at Gravis, you will own our digital security development across the full product lifecycle; from the embedded software stack inside the RACK hardware to our cloud infrastructure and supply chain. You will be the company's expert voice on EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) readiness. You will lead the security development lifecycle and embed security into our development processes from day one, mentoring the development team on best practices. As a member of the safety team, you will act as the trusted partner across engineering, product, legal, and operations. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with the mandate to build a security function as Gravis scales globally.

Regulatory & Compliance

Lead CRA readiness for Gravis products with digital elements: scoping, product classification, gap
assessments against essential requirements, risk analysis, control design, and remediation
roadmaps

Translate CRA, NIS2, and Machinery Regulation requirements into actionable control frameworks
and policies; map to ISO 27001/27002/27036, NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-161, NIST SSDF, CIS
Controls, and OWASP

Maintain comprehensive technical documentation to support conformity assessments, CE marking, and engagement with Notified Bodies

Stay current on emerging threats, regulatory changes, and best practices in product security,
supply chain security, and GRC

Product Security

Establish and mature product security capabilities: secure development lifecycle, secure update
processes, vulnerability handling, coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD), PSIRT setup and
operations, SBOM generation, management, and vulnerability triage

Conduct risk assessments and threat modelling for products and suppliers; define mitigation
strategies, metrics, and KPIs

Participate in incident and alert response reviews; propose and implement improvement actions

Assess and improve the security hardening of enterprise and embedded solutions

Secure Engineering

Write secure code for critical system components in C, C++, Python, and/or Rust

Conduct manual and automated code reviews with a strict focus on security vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, CWE)

Define and enforce secure coding guidelines and SAST/DAST tooling across engineering teams

Mentor and upskill engineers on secure development best practices

Collaboration & Communication

Collaborate cross-functionally with security, engineering, product, operations, legal, and compliance teams; facilitate workshops and drive change

Produce clear, high-quality deliverables: assessment reports, control designs, implementation
plans, policies, process maps, and training materials

Regularly monitor and report on security metrics, security posture, and compliance status to
management.

Explain complex security topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

3+ years of security experience with direct focus on EU regulatory compliance (CRA, NIS2,
Machinery Regulation) and GRC

Strong familiarity with industrial or embedded cybersecurity standards, particularly IEC 62443

Broad knowledge of security frameworks — ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-161, NIST SSDF,
CIS Controls, OWASP — including control mapping and tailored implementation

Demonstrable experience establishing product security capabilities (PSIRT, CVD, SBOM, secure
development/update pipelines) in a product or software organisation

Proficiency writing secure code in one or more of: C, C++, Python, Rust

Experience conducting manual and automated code reviews focused on identifying security
vulnerabilities

Deep understanding of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, CWE) and proven mitigation strategies

Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable engaging both engineers and
executives

Relevant cybersecurity certifications: CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, ISO 27001 Lead
Implementer/Auditor, CCSK, or CCSP

Practical experience with conformity assessments, technical documentation, and CE marking
processes

Experience with penetration testing and vulnerability assessments

Hands-on experience with SAST and DAST tooling

Experience engaging with Notified Bodies through the conformity assessment process

Knowledge of cryptography, secure boot processes, and secure over-the-air (OTA) update
mechanisms

Background in industrial automation, robotics, or embedded systems environments
