Senior Security IP Engineer
The Senior Security IP Engineer joins the SCIPS team within the Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering organization to develop core infrastructure for cloud hardware. This role involves owning the end-to-end development of security IPs, from architecture and microarchitecture definition through silicon validation. The engineer will build high-performance, power-efficient RTL designs while driving PPA optimization, design signoff activities like CDC, RDC, LINT, synthesis, and STA, and performing pre-silicon and post-silicon debug. Key responsibilities include implementing hardware security technologies such as cryptographic accelerators, root-of-trust, secure boot, and key management. The role requires proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, Python, or Perl, along with knowledge of AMBA AXI protocols and cryptography standards like AES and SHA. This position addresses the technical challenge of managing and optimizing cloud infrastructure through advanced silicon design for high-volume manufacturing.
