The Firmware Security Certification Engineer joins a team to provide technical expertise for Common Criteria certification of Dune-based devices. This role involves translating certification requirements into technical controls, reproducible evidence, and lab evaluations. You will map Security Targets and Protection Profiles to firmware architecture, identify gaps, and validate implementation readiness. Daily tasks include configuring, building, and troubleshooting Dune firmware in test environments while developing automated tests and scripts. You will execute functional, security, and interoperability testing, investigating failures across networking, cryptography, and authentication services. Required skills include experience with embedded firmware, TCP/IP, TLS, and Python or shell scripting. You must navigate complex technical requirements to produce precise artifacts for evaluators, ensuring the device meets rigorous security standards through continuous integration and automated workflows.
Map Security Target and Protection Profile requirements to Dune firmware architecture and device behavior.
Configure, build, deploy, and troubleshoot Dune firmware in certification test environments.
Develop and maintain automated tests, scripts, and utilities to produce objective certification evidence.
Execute functional, security, negative, regression, and interoperability testing on network protocols and secure communications.
Investigate test failures across firmware, networking, authentication, cryptography, and device configuration.
Prepare technical artifacts, test procedures, defect reports, and formal responses to evaluator questions.
Improve certification efficiency by creating reusable automation and documented methods within the development lifecycle.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
Demonstrated experience developing, integrating, debugging, or validating Dune firmware or a closely related embedded device platform.
Strong understanding of embedded firmware architecture, operating-system services, device configuration, logging, and diagnostic methods.
Practical networking expertise including TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, DHCP, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, SNMP, 802.1X, certificates, and network troubleshooting.
Experience creating automated tests and scripts using Python, shell scripting, PowerShell, or comparable languages.
Experience with source control, defect tracking, build environments, test frameworks, and continuous integration workflows.
Strong written and verbal communication skills to produce precise technical evidence and explain issues to engineers and stakeholders.
Direct experience supporting a Common Criteria evaluation, including Security Target development and evaluation evidence (preferred).
