Join Microns diverse team where youll play a pivotal role in advancing our elite memory and storage solutions. This is an outstanding opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation crafting the future of secure firmware development!
Responsibilities
- Integrate existing ASIC team APIs/workflows to help automate SCA/FI testing workflow.
- Collaborate with hardwarebased rootoftrust to test/verify security attestation of underlying system.
FPGA Emulation & Hardware Integration
- Use FPGA prototyping platforms (Xilinx Intel etc. to emulate ASICs and support presilicon firmware and test development.
- Partner with hardware designers to boost our teams proficiency in validating and testing custom IP.
ASIC BringUp & PostSilicon Debugging
- Bring up new silicon using lowlevel diagnostic firmware with a focus on verifying security reliability and hardwaresoftware integration.
- Debug early silicon using JTAG logic analyzers and custom test harnesses.
Scripting & Automation
- Write Python and shell scripts to automate test flows validate register access and perform continuous regression testing.
- Assist the product security team by enabling quick and repeatable testing workflows suitable for rapid SCA/FI test iteration.
- Collaborate with security architects to ensure test coverage of hardware threat models.
- Use fault injection and other techniques to verify resistance to tampering and unauthorized access.
Security & Vulnerability Research
- Conduct firmware and hardwarelevel vulnerability research on inhouse and thirdparty IP blocks.
- Investigate potential attack vectors that lead to privilege critical issues side channel leakage etc.
- Stay ahead of emerging hardware threats such as speculative attacks firmware rootkits and sidechannel techniques.
- Develop firmwarelevel mitigations for potential sidechannel attacks as well as fault injection.
Required Qualifications
- Masters or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or related field.
- Previous experience in embedded or lowlevel firmware development including silicon bringup and platform initialization.
- Deep understanding of memorymapped I/O interrupt handling boot sequences and peripheral bringup.
