Principal Product Cybersecurity Assurance
Humanoid Robotics Cybersecurity Engineer – Principal Product Cybersecurity Assurance
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. We’re driving this mission with HMND-01 Alpha, our ground-breaking industrial and home humanoid platforms, and we’re scaling the team to push boundaries.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Principal Product Cybersecurity Assurance Engineer to lead security assurance for the HMND-01 platform—Alpha Wheeled (industrial robot) and Alpha Bipedal (home robot)—powered by our KinetIQ VLM/VLA AI framework. As part of the Systems Engineering & Architecture team, you will:
- Define and maintain a product cybersecurity strategy across the entire platform lifecycle.
- Ensure security is a core discipline—indissociable from safety engineering—to realise our vision of commercially scalable, robust, and safe humanoid robots.
- Lead a cross-disciplinary security team while merging threat modelling, risk assurance, and standards compliance to protect a frontier technology against evolving cyber-physical threats.
Key competencies required:
- The authority to influence security architecture in complex programmes.
- Rigorous case-building capabilities for novel cyber-physical systems.
- Cross-team leadership to drive policy and process.
- A commitment to product security from concept to post-market deployment.
What You’ll Do
1. Team Leadership & Product Security Delivery
- Lead and develop a cross-functional security engineering team, ensuring on-time delivery of security services.
- Define product cybersecurity requirements aligned with embedded/AI robotic controls, and advise teams on implementations adhering to IEC 62443, EU CSA, etc.
- Partner with product, autonomy, firmware, and hardware teams to:
- Standardise security protocols for threats across KinetIQ AI inference pipelines and cloud-robot communications.
- Refine embedded system security toolchains for robotics cybersecurity.
- Maintain audit-ready documentation including:
- Security Management Plans
- Threat Analysis & Risk Assertion (TARA) reports
- Risk & Remediation Action Plans
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
2. Security Assurance & Certification
- Align security integration with lifecycle stages from design through supply chain—demonstrating robust, scalable resilience.
- Ensure compliance with EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 and IEC 62443 for industrial controls, plus EU Cyber Resilience Act provisions.
- Lead Independent Assurance Reviews (IAR): Conduct in-depth security risk evaluations for high-impact cyber-physical systems, identifying how digital compromise could affect operator safety or end-user integrity.
- Advise on certification-ready security artefacts including:
- Risk mitigation validation
- Safety-critical cybersecurity integration (e.g. with ISO 13482 or SCARA)
3. Incident Response & Lifecycle Security
- Draft and maintain a Product Security Incident Response Plan (PSIR), covering:
- Vulnerability disclosure co-ordination
- Patch pipelines and field incident analysis
- Implement post-market surveillance by:
- Defining security monitoring requirements for deployed units
- Facilitating risk file updates against embedded field observations
4. Commercial & Bid Support
- Author security work packages & cost estimates for proposals, product bids, and services.
- Position Humanoid’s security expertise in customer engagements, regulatory discussions, and engineering evidence due diligence.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have Experience
- Deep expertise in certifiable hardware/embedded cybersecurity, with hands-on experience applying either:
- ISO 27001 family or NIST RMF in regulated product development.
- Hands-on ownership of securing high-assurance platforms, preferably in:
- Automotive, automated vehicles, or industrial automation.
- Proficient adaptation of automotive security standards (ISO/SAE 21434) to humanoid robotics.
- Ability to interpret penetration testing reports and author foolproof Remediation Action Plans.
- Ability to articulate complex security risks to non-technical stakeholders with clarity.

- Insights into securing AI/ML pipelines, including model integrity and cloud-to-edge communication.
- Practical knowledge of securing CAN bus, Ethernet, or RF interfaces in mobile/robotics systems.
- UL 4600, UL 3300, or ISO 13482 compliance (and integrating cybersecurity evidence into safety cases).
- Hands-on ISO TC 184 or IEC TC 65 standards participation, or regulatory/certification engagements (e.g., with TUV, UL, or BSI).
What We Offer
At Humanoid, we invest in people who invest in our future. You’ll enjoy:
- Meaningful equity stake: Competitive U.S. stocks as we scale.
- Work-life balance: 30+ days off holistically (including annual leave, UK bank holidays, and company-approved shutdown periods).
