The SoC Offensive Security Senior Engineer joins the Security Research and Response team to apply an attacker's mindset to next-generation silicon solutions. This role involves performing adversarial security assessments across multiple projects by reviewing architectural specifications, evaluating pre- and post-silicon platforms, and conducting firmware security analysis for components like UEFI and uBoot. The engineer will identify vulnerabilities in SoC and chiplet micro-architectures, develop Proofs of Concept, and collaborate with development teams to improve security models. Key technical requirements include experience with SystemVerilog RTL, UVM-based validation environments, and hardware root-of-trust standards such as Caliptra or DICE. The role also utilizes automation, scripting, and AI-assisted techniques to analyze complex attack surfaces. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of SoC architecture, IP integration, and various hardware interface standards like PCIe and AMBA interconnect protocols.
