In this position you can really pioneer. The laws and regulations in the field of cybersecurity for the automotive industry are fresh from the press. You get a lot of space to fill your position yourself. Speaking of space, the whole world is your working area. The manufacturers you work with produce worldwide.

During these trips you check whether the processes at the production locations are running according to the rules. Are you not abroad? Then you work from home or at the office in Zoetermeer. Here you test legal requirements, assess test reports and give advice.
