The Embedded Security Engineer joins the engineering team to perform security analysis, requirements, design, and verification for subsystem and component-level elements within U.S. weapon systems. This role involves developing security requirements, evaluating architectures for cyber-exploitation vulnerabilities, and documenting countermeasures in white papers. You will perform hands-on integration, test development, and troubleshooting while supporting ASIC package and Development Kit design. Key technical requirements include practical knowledge of microcontrollers, FPGA-based systems-on-chip, ASICs, and workstation-grade single-board computers. You must understand cryptographic algorithms, CPUs, interconnects, and power or clock-domain isolation. The work focuses on identifying physical and virtual threat vectors to secure embedded systems against reverse-engineering. You will also contribute to CI/CD test environments and participate in Government design reviews to ensure robust hardware and software security.
