Summary
Arash Vahidi is a Principal System Security Engineer based in Lund, Sweden, with 12+ years focused on embedded and automotive cybersecurity. He has led security architecture and product ownership at Volvo Cars, improving vehicle security through fuzz testing, penetration testing, secure coding/design guidelines, and hands-on ISO 21434/R155 compliance work. Previously he drove verifiable hypervisors and isolation technologies in research roles at SICS/RISE and designed cryptographic hardware and VHDL at Advenica, bridging low-level implementation and formal methods from his Chalmers PhD background. Comfortable both in research and product teams, he treats security and embedded systems as a craft—building verifiable primitives and practical processes that survive real-world certification and audits.
