Secure the OTA update pipeline, including update signing, staged and canary rollouts, rollback protection, and tamper detection.

Partner with hardware and manufacturing teams to identify and mitigate supply-chain risks, including counterfeit or tampered vehicle components.

Represent Security in vehicle architecture and engineering design reviews, identifying security requirements early in the development lifecycle.

Own incident-response strategies for compromised or potentially compromised vehicles, including safe remote isolation and quarantine procedures.

Provide technical leadership across the security organization, helping establish priorities, engineering standards, and team operating practices.
