Overview
Verathon® is looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer to become the newest member of our R&D Team located in Bothell, Washington.
The Cybersecurity Engineer is responsible for leading the system-level cybersecurity engineering activities required to design and sustain secure medical devices across Verathon's product portfolio. This role is the primary owner of product security architecture, system threat modeling, and the translation of FDA and consensus standards guidance into actionable security requirements and verification evidence. Working closely with Software Engineering, Quality, and Regulatory teams, the Cybersecurity Engineer ensures that Verathon's products are designed and documented to satisfy regulatory expectations throughout the product lifecycle, from initial design through post-market sustaining activities.
Responsibilities
Define product security architecture, including identification of software and hardware assets, trust boundaries, control objectives, and interface documentation; specify and review designs for authentication, authorization, cryptography, secure update mechanisms, event logging, data integrity, and system hardening (including STIG-based hardening where applicable)
Lead system-level threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE / MITRE ATT&CK for IC) and allocate mitigations across hardware, firmware, and software; ensure trust-boundary assumptions are explicit, traceable, and testable
Derive cybersecurity requirements from FDA guidance and consensus standards (IEC 62443, IEC 81001-5-1, AAMI SW96); define verification strategies specifying required evidence, timing, and ownership
Produce and maintain design-level product security documentation including architecture views, control rationale, security requirements traceability matrices, and interface/external connection records
Own the engineering interface during penetration testing and other third-party security engagements: lead scope clarification, environment setup, and technical Q&A; assess design impact of findings; define remediation technical approach and support retest readiness
When post-release remediation is required, define technical scope and verification approach; coordinate with engineering and release functions to ensure validated deployment and documentation closure
Lead interoperability security assessments for device interfaces with external systems, networks, and devices; evaluate security and safety risks across normal and fault operating modes and define appropriate risk controls for interface trust boundaries
Conduct CVE impact analysis for fielded products; assess applicability of newly disclosed vulnerabilities to system-level components and architecture; support prioritization and remediation scoping
Contribute to release readiness for security-driven sustaining updates, including inputs to patch packaging, documentation updates, and design change records
Collaborate with the Software to ensure security requirements are correctly allocated and verification evidence is complete across the system
Work cross-functionally across Systems, Software, Quality, and Regulatory disciplines to align on security architecture decisions and ensure consistent implementation
Own and maintain the Product Security Management Plan and associated Product Security Management File, ensuring all required cybersecurity activities are planned, traceable, and audit-ready
Support Verathon's Quality Management System (QMS), including participation in design reviews, ECO procedures, and DHF/regulatory submission artifact preparation
Stay current with evolving FDA cybersecurity guidance, EU MDR and MDCG , NIST CSF, and relevant medical device security standards; identify implications for Verathon products and processes
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline is required
5+ years of demonstrated experience in cybersecurity engineering, product security engineering, or a related field, with at least 3 years focused on cybersecurity for connected or regulated products
Demonstrated experience with system-level threat modeling methodologies (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA, or TARA as defined in IEC 81001-5-1 / AAMI SW96)
Working knowledge of medical device cybersecurity regulatory requirements, including FDA premarket and postmarket cybersecurity guidance, IEC 81001-5-1, AAMI SW96, and IEC 62443
Experience defining security requirements and producing verification evidence in a regulated product development environment (FDA QSR / ISO 13485 QMS preferred)
Experience with CVE/NVD triage and vulnerability impact assessment at the system level including CVSS-based vulnerability scoring and cybersecurity risk assessment methodologies
Experience supporting or managing third-party penetration testing engagements, including findings triage and remediation scoping, is strongly preferred
Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (ports, protocols, firewalls) and OS-level security concepts across Linux and/or Windows environments relevant to connected medical devices
Relevant security certification (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CEH, CompTIA Security+, or equivalent) is preferred; candidates with equivalent demonstrated experience will be considered
Familiarity with SBOM concepts and supply chain security considerations for medical devices is an asset
Working knowledge of architecture and modeling tools (e.g., Visio, PlantUML, or basic SysML) for producing security architecture and threat-model artifacts
Strong written communication skills with demonstrated ability to produce clear, audit-ready technical documentation
Salary range - $147,539 - 182,000 (Compensation will vary based on skills, experience and location; it is not typical to be hired at or above the top of the salary range).
Full-time employees who are not on a commission plan are eligible for Verathon’s annual bonus plan based on company and individual performance.
Verathon provides a competitive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, paid holidays, paid time off and a 401(k) matching plan. For more information, please visit our complete Benefits Summary at
