Job Overview The Professional, Quality Steward is an established and productive individual contributor within the Cybersecurity function, accountable for embedding Secure by Design principles into the DePuy Synthes medical device and connected product portfolio. This role serves as the quality and security steward across the total product lifecycle — partnering with R&D, Product Management, Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, and Quality to ensure security requirements are defined early, designed in, verified through testing, and sustained through postmarket monitoring. Working under moderate supervision, the analyst applies practical knowledge of product security, secure development practices, and medical device regulatory expectations to ensure products are safe, secure, compliant, and defensible to regulators and customers. Key Responsibilities Serve as the product security steward for assigned product lines, embedding Secure by Design requirements into the product development lifecycle from concept through end-of-support. Define and document security requirements, design inputs, and acceptance criteria in collaboration with product owners, systems engineers, and R&D teams during early design phases. Facilitate threat modeling and security architecture reviews for connected devices, embedded software, mobile applications, and supporting cloud services; ensure identified threats are mitigated and traceable to controls.

Generate, validate , and maintain Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for products; monitor third-party and open-source components for known vulnerabilities and drive remediation planning. Support secure software development practices, including secure coding standards, static and dynamic analysis, dependency scanning, and integration of security gates into CI/CD pipelines. Coordinate penetration testing and security verification activities with internal teams and third-party assessors; triage findings, assess exploitability and patient safety impact, and track remediation to closure. Prepare and review cybersecurity documentation for regulatory submissions, aligned to FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance, EU MDR, and applicable international requirements. Operate postmarket vulnerability management for released products — monitoring threat intelligence, performing impact analysis, and supporting coordinated vulnerability disclosure and customer advisories. Develop and maintain customer-facing security artifacts, including MDS2 forms, security white papers, and responses to hospital and health system security assessments. Partner with Quality and Regulatory to ensure product security activities are captured in design history files, design controls, and the Quality Management System. Establish and report product security metrics — design review coverage, vulnerability aging, SBOM currency, and remediation SLA performance — to leadership and program stakeholders. Assess security implications of product changes, platform migrations, supplier changes, and separation/carve-out activity affecting the product portfolio. Deliver Secure by Design training and enablement to engineering and product teams to strengthen security ownership and cyber culture.
