Autoliv's primary goal is to Save More Lives. Our products never get a second chance. This is why we can never compromise on quality. We are working to increase vehicle safety by developing seatbelts, airbags and steering wheels and you can be part of our team as Information & Cyber Security Architect.
To lead the architectural development, alignment, and execution of Autoliv’s Cyber Security in Manufacturing, Product and Engineering. The role ensures that security is embedded across the digital manufacturing and product ecosystem—balancing operational efficiency with robust protection of assets, data, and processes.
As a strategic and technical leader, the Security Architect for will act as the bridge between manufacturing operations, product engineering, enterprise IT, and the global cybersecurity function.
As a Information & Cyber Security Architect you will:
Architectural Leadership
- Own and evolve the target state security architecture for manufacturing environments (OT/IoT/edge/cloud).
- Translate strategic security goals into actionable architecture blueprints, capabilities, and reference models.
Program Integration
- Coordinate across manufacturing, operations, infrastructure, and security to ensure aligned, scalable implementations.
- Support the integration of security into design, engineering, and deployment of lifecycles of manufacturing systems.
Collaboration & Guidance
- Work closely with security solution architects and system owners to ensure the effective adoption of secure designs.
- Provide expert input to threat modeling, risk assessments, and architecture reviews specific to manufacturing systems.
Enablement & Maturity Growth
- Champion the development and adoption of reusable patterns, standards, and frameworks across global manufacturing sites.
- Lead capability maturity assessments, define improvement roadmaps, and track progress across divisions.
Representation & Communication
- Act as the security architecture representative in global forums related to smart manufacturing, product development and digital engineering.
- Communicate complex technical concepts in business-relevant language to drive executive buy-in and adoption.
To excel in this role, you should have:
Knowledge
