The Senior Embedded Security Engineer serves as a senior technical contributor for weapon-system security subsystems within the engineering team. This role leads security architecture, requirements development, and verification activities for embedded devices, including microcontrollers, FPGA-based systems-on-chip, ASICs, and workstation-grade single-board computers. The engineer will evaluate architectures for reverse-engineering and cyber-exploitation vulnerabilities, document countermeasures in white papers, and develop test strategies for CPU, interconnect, and power-domain isolation. Key technical requirements include advanced knowledge of cryptographic algorithms, hardware and software attacks, and computer architectures. The position involves coordinating with government assessment laboratories and internal red teams to address vulnerabilities in U.S. weapon systems. Essential skills include systems engineering oversight for ASIC package design, CI/CD test capability maintenance, and distilling complex technical concepts into clear documentation.
