As a Cyber Security Consultant – Identity and Access Management, you will play a key role in our Business Technology team within Corporate Cyber Security & Privacy. You’ll be the go‑to expert for Identity & Access Management (IAM), shaping secure solutions, setting IAM standards, driving risk assessments, and influencing cutting‑edge architectural decisions to protect and future‑proof critical systems. Key responsibilities in your new role

Act as a trusted subject matter expert for Identity & Access Management, advising architecture, engineering, and operational teams on the secure design, implementation, and operation of identity services and access control mechanisms. Define and establish IAM‑related security controls that reflect current threats, emerging technologies, and modern Zero Trust and identity‑centric security models. Advise on and establish consistent IAM standards, patterns, and best practices across Infineon departments, covering authentication, authorization, identity lifecycle management, and privileged access. Lead and facilitate risk assessments, threat modelling, and secure design reviews for business‑critical systems, platforms, and services (e.g., cloud, manufacturing, R&D platforms). Partner with enterprise architects, domain architects, and service owners to translate IAM security controls into functional and non‑functional requirements. Influence and challenge architectural and design decisions by balancing risks, business value, operational resilience, and engineering feasibility. Your Profile
