The Role GM’s

Product Cybersecurity Team

safeguards the security and integrity of our vehicle platforms, embedded systems, and connected services across the entire product lifecycle. Our mission is to proactively defend GM products against evolving cyber threats by engineering cybersecurity into every phase — from concept and architecture through development, validation, production, and in-field operation. We seek product cybersecurity professionals with advanced expertise in secure system design, embedded and automotive security, and risk-based threat analysis, capable of driving security-by-design principles, ensuring compliance with global regulations and standards, and strengthening the resilience of GM’s vehicles and mobility ecosystems.

The

Connected Vehicle Cybersecurity Manager

leads the engineering team responsible for securing the end-to-end connected vehicle ecosystem – spanning in-vehicle connectivity platforms, telecom interfaces, backend services, certificate lifecycle management (CLM), and mobile integrations.

This role defines and drives the security vision, architecture, and execution strategy for connected ECUs and services. The manager ensures secure design, implementation, and operations across vehicle, cloud, and mobile domains, while maintaining compliance with global automotive cybersecurity regulations and internal standards.

This is a high-impact leadership position interfacing with vehicle engineering, cloud platforms, telecom providers, enterprise security, and product leadership.
