The Cloud Product Cybersecurity Engineer is responsible for integrating cybersecurity into the design, development, manufacturing, and lifecycle management of Minimed's therapy management systems and connected healthcare technologies.
This role partners with R&D, software engineering, regulatory affairs, quality assurance, and enterprise security teams to ensure products are designed and maintained with strong security controls and comply with applicable FDA cybersecurity guidance, ISO 27001, NIST, and other cybersecurity frameworks.
The engineer will support secure product architecture, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and secure software development practices while ensuring medical device cybersecurity risks are effectively identified, assessed, and mitigated.
Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.
Secure Product Development
- Embed cybersecurity requirements into the medical device product lifecycle (SDLC).
- Define and implement secure design principles for cloud-based software as a medical device and non-medical cloud products.
- Conduct secure architecture reviews for new products and product updates.
- Partner with engineering teams to integrate security into DevOps / DevSecOps pipelines.
- Configure and maintain Cloud Monitoring and CNAPP platforms on cloud products.
- Define and enforce secure baseline standards for Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)
- Ensure all AMIs include hardened OS configurations, EDR agents, logging, and telemetry configurations aligned with SOC monitoring requirements
- Establish secure container base image standards (minimal OS, distroless, hardened images)
- Enforce runtime security controls across Kubernetes/ECS environments
Threat Modeling & Risk Management
- Conduct threat modeling exercises for medical device architectures.
- Perform cybersecurity risk assessments aligned with recognized risk management processes.
- Identify attack surfaces including:
- Mobile or cloud applications
- Network integrations
- Develop mitigation strategies and security control recommendations.
Vulnerability Management
- Coordinate product vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.
- Manage vulnerabilities in accordance with coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) processes.
