Product Security Engineer - Embedded

We are the people who give possibilities purpose

The Product Security Engineer (Embedded) is responsible for supporting the security of BD's physical, IoT, and embedded medical devices – including embedded Linux and Windows-based platforms – or a subset of features within the product, across the engineering and product development lifecycle. This individual contributes to the delivery of secure products consistent with global regulatory requirements by executing product security program activities under the guidance of senior team members.

This role works in partnership with R&D and other stakeholders to support compliance with security technical requirements and reduce security risks within the product or feature set. This includes hands‑on execution of product security activities such as threat modeling, vulnerability scanning and remediation, and security risk assessments. The successful candidate will apply developing technical expertise to evaluate security vulnerabilities and contribute to maintainable technical solutions.

Collaboration with software engineers and R&D team members in a dynamic and agile development environment is essential. Having demonstrated positive work ethic and commitment to achieving project goals with strong collaboration and communication skills – both written and verbal – is key for success in this role.

• Security Requirements & Implementation:
  Support project teams in defining and implementing security requirements and technologies for a product or set of features in accordance with industry standards for medical devices, including encryption, authentication, audit logging, hardening measures, SBOM creation and composition, patch management, vulnerability monitoring, and antivirus/antimalware as applicable.

• Cryptography & PKI:
  Support the selection and implementation of appropriate cryptographic algorithms, key management practices, and certificate lifecycle management (issuance, renewal, revocation) for devices and cloud‑connected components.

• Secure Communications:
  Evaluate and support secure communication implementations across device interfaces and network protocols relevant to the product, including validation of TLS/mTLS configurations and medical or proprietary protocols as applicable.

• Embedded & Firmware Security:
  Support hardening of embedded Linux, Windows, and RTOS‑based device platforms, including secure boot, firmware integrity, hardware attack surface reduction, and physical/IoT device engineering practices across the product development lifecycle.

• Cloud & API Security:
  Assist in identifying and addressing security risks in cloud‑connected device backends and associated APIs, including authentication, authorization, and protection of data in transit and at rest.

• Design Reviews:
  Participate in technical design reviews and code inspections, providing feedback to project team members and following proper coding practices.

• Security Assessments:
  Support execution of product security risk assessments, hazard analysis, and vulnerability remediation activities in coordination with product development software engineers.

• Process & Documentation:
  Assist product development teams in complying with product security framework activities and contributing to security documentation, including Incident and Vulnerability Management Plans and Product Security White Papers.

• Incident Response:
  Participate in product security incident response activities as appropriate.

• Training & Procedures:
  Where applicable, support the deployment of software engineering procedures and training related to vulnerability scanning and static code analysis tools.

• Automated Testing:
  Where applicable, assist R&D teams in implementing systems for automated testing of software vulnerabilities and verification of OS security patches.

• Quality Assurance:
  Where applicable, contribute to quality in R&D security test deliverables, including design, data summary, report preparation, and review for adherence to applicable regulations.

• May perform other duties as required.
