<div class="show-more-less-html__markup show-more-less-html__markup--clamp-after-5 relative overflow-hidden"> <p>Security Architect | Device & Embedded Security | Stuttgart | 24 months | Up to €120,000 p.a. (negotiable) | AUG Contract</p><p><br/></p><p>This is not a cloud security role. It is not an application security role. If your background is device security, firmware security or OT-adjacent product security, it is worth reading on.</p><p><br/></p><p>A world-leading technology organisation in Stuttgart is looking for a Security Architect who has genuinely worked on the security of physical devices — not software products in the abstract sense, but hardware in the field: devices that get lost, returned, tampered with and decommissioned. The organisation manufactures high-end electronic equipment deployed across defence, secure communications and measurement technology in more than 70 countries.</p><p><br/></p><p>The work centres on building concrete security architecture for physical tracking and locator devices: theft protections, secure data wiping, device hardening and isolation, secure provisioning and deprovisioning, and structured threat modelling against real-world hardware attack scenarios. If you have worked with TARA or comparable hardware threat modelling frameworks, that is a strong advantage.</p><p><br/></p><p>Candidates with a background purely in web, cloud or enterprise application security are not a match for this role. The hiring team has been specific about that.</p><p><br/></p><p>What you will need:</p><p>Hands-on device or embedded security architecture experience — IoT, firmware, automotive product security or OT. Ability to design concrete security concepts, not only frameworks. Practical understanding of device threat scenarios: theft, tampering, reset attacks, data remanence. Experience with secure provisioning and deprovisioning. Familiarity with TARA or equivalent hardware threat modelling.</p><p><br/></p><p>Business-fluent German — mandatory.</p><p><br/></p><p>Location: Stuttgart | Contract: AUG | Up to 24 months | Up to €120,000 p.a. | Start: ASAP</p> </div>
