TL;DR · FPGA & SoC Product Security Engineer

The FPGA & SoC Product Security Engineer joins a leading team to drive and enhance the delivery of high-quality technologies. This senior software engineer role involves supporting the design, development, and delivery of security solutions for next-generation FPGA, SoC, and embedded x86 products. Key responsibilities include defining security requirements for secure boot, cryptographic services, root-of-trust technologies, and access control mechanisms. The engineer will perform threat modeling, code reviews, penetration testing, and red teaming while collaborating with cross-functional teams. Required skills include expertise in SoC, FPGA, and ARM-based platform security, along with proficiency in Python, C, Verilog, and VHDL. The role addresses complex cybersecurity problems within Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Datacenter, and Test & Measurement environments, ensuring robust protection throughout the product lifecycle.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and deliver security solutions for next-generation FPGA, SoC, and embedded x86 products.
  • Define security requirements, architectures, and implementations for secure boot, cryptography, and root-of-trust technologies.
  • Integrate security into architecture, design, testing, and product release processes with cross-functional teams.
  • Execute Secure Development Lifecycle activities including threat modeling, code reviews, and penetration testing.
  • Investigate and resolve complex security challenges and critical customer escalations.
  • Develop scalable security architectures to address emerging threats and future product capabilities.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Experience in design, development, and delivery of security solutions for FPGA, SoC, and embedded x86 products.
  • Ability to define security requirements, architectures, and implementations including secure boot and cryptographic services.
  • Experience supporting Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) activities like threat modeling, code reviews, and penetration testing.
  • Expertise in AMD SoC, FPGA, embedded x86, and ARM-based platform security (preferred).
  • Experience applying security principles to hardware and software products, including certification efforts (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with FPGA/SoC development, validation, simulation, verification (UVM), and hardware debugging (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, C, Verilog, VHDL, or similar programming languages (preferred).
