What You'll Be Doing (Execution & Delivery)

Architect & Implement:

Research, design, and deliver hardware-and-software security architectures for our next-generation AI Inference Systems, ensuring alignment with global security standards.

Root of Trust & Boot:

Own the microarchitectural definition, validation, and rollout of the SoC Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) and secure boot processes.

Confidential Computing & Isolation:

Apply advanced hardware primitives to implement secure software compartmentalization, isolating critical AI assets and model IPs from multi-tenant threats.

Secure Software Embedding:

Collaborate directly with software and research teams to embed secure firmware, model-protection mechanisms, and open-source security frameworks into the silicon platform.

Threat Modeling:

Build and execute data-driven threat models to identify, validate, and mitigate hardware and low-level firmware vulnerabilities.

Cross-Functional Ownership:

Lead security feature implementation from conceptual modeling and emulation through to customer deployment and threat resolution.

Requirements:

What We Need To See (Core Skillset)

Education:

BSc, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Experience:

10+ years of proven track record in hardware security architecture, silicon design, or embedded security engineering.

Secure System Building:

Deep, practical understanding of "Security-by-Design" principles, privilege isolation, and Confidential Computing concepts.

Firmware & Low-Level Dev:

Strong programming and debugging fundamentals in C/C++, Python, and assembly (e.g., ARM) with hands-on experience in low-level firmware and embedded systems.

Execution & Teamwork:

A proven track record of leading complex technical features across diverse, cross-functional teams, backed by excellent communication skills. Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd Direct experience with Linux security primitives, secure hypervisors, or microkernel architectures. Background in high-performance networking security (RDMA, TCP/IP, TLS/IPSec) Experience mitigating AI-specific hardware threats (e.g., side-channel analysis, fault injection).
