TL;DR · Hardware Security Engineering Program Manager

The Hardware Security Engineering Program Manager manages the end-to-end lifecycle of SoC security features, spanning from early architecture discussions through silicon delivery and software enablement. Serving as the connective tissue between Platform Architecture, SoC design, and Software teams, this role involves facilitating technical discussions to define features, managing multi-generation roadmaps, and identifying cross-functional risks or dependencies. The successful candidate will drive decision-making processes, ensure feature alignment across hardware and software stakeholders, and oversee specification review and sign-off. Key technical domains include secure boot, hardware key protection, cryptographic engines, attestation, and trusted execution environments. Candidates must possess a background in SoC, silicon, or cellular design and demonstrate the ability to translate complex technical topics for diverse audiences while managing detailed execution schedules across multi-functional teams spanning firmware, software, and systems.

What you'll do

  • Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of SoC security features from initial architecture through silicon delivery and software enablement.
  • Facilitate technical discussions between Platform Architecture, SoC design, and software teams to define security features.
  • Drive the decision-making process by identifying technical opens and ensuring alignment across hardware and software stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain a multi-generation security feature roadmap aligned with product priorities and silicon schedules.
  • Identify and resolve cross-functional dependencies, conflicts, and gaps before they impact the critical path.
  • Secure early commitments from software teams for the enablement of specific security features.
  • Drive the security specification review and sign-off process across all relevant engineering and security teams.
  • Track silicon and software readiness milestones to ensure features are fully validated and supported.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 10 years of relevant experience.
  • 5+ years in SoC/Silicon/Cellular design, architecture, or silicon development.
  • Proven technical program management or cross-functional leadership experience.
  • Familiarity with SoC security architectures including secure boot, hardware key protection, cryptographic engines, attestation, and trusted execution environments (preferred).
  • Demonstrated success driving multi-functional alignment and influencing across silicon/software organizational boundaries (preferred).
  • Track record of driving security-focused features across hardware and software teams (preferred).
  • Experience building and maintaining multi-generation technology roadmaps (preferred).
