Your Mission
Join a highcaliber embedded security software team alongside experienced architects and domain experts. Youll lead the embedded secure element architecture in our multicore wireless IoT SoC platform. Your work ensures our silicon is securebydesign regulationready and optimized for ultralow power high performance and minimal footprint.
Youll define technical specs evaluate makevsbuy decisions and deliver practical futureproof solutionsready not just for todays threats but for the quantum era and beyond.
Responsibilities
- Architect secure subsystems: secure boot antirollback cryptographic services firmware update storage key mgmt.
- Draft technical specifications: clearly define requirements and interfacesfor internal builds or thirdparty components. Drive technical relations with our main IP provider.
- Makevsbuy technical analysis: lead evaluations of IP and deep technical relation with vendor crypto stacks provisioning services and thirdparty tools.
- Regulatory alignment: embed NIST CRA/PSA/SESIP frameworks into silicon architecture and follow certification.
- Optimize for constraints: own codesize timing power KPIs; collaborate with systems/hardware/software teams.
- Enable cryptographic agility: include postquantum crypto futureproof update paths.
- Advocate lifecycle security with appropriate customer DX allowing high level features secure OTA secure erase live reporting device decommissioning ownership transfer.
- Stay ahead: champion sidechannel countermeasures tamper detection and AIbased anomaly detection for robust futureready security.
