This role involves defining security requirements for programmers, gateways, and connected operating environments while ensuring protection for device-to-device and device-to-edge communications. You will perform threat modeling, attack-surface analysis, and risk-control evidence gathering throughout the device lifecycle. Key responsibilities include designing secure boot, HSM/secure-element integration, encryption, and eFOTA firmware update architectures. You will utilize skills in cryptography, PKI, BLE/network security, and SBOM management to solve complex security problems in a regulated medical environment. The position requires expertise in embedded systems, firmware, and hardware to maintain compliance with medical-device cybersecurity standards and guidance.

What you'll do

  • Define security architecture and requirements for implantable devices, programmers, gateways, and connected operating environments.
  • Apply Security-by-Design and Defense-in-Depth principles across hardware, firmware, and communication interfaces.
  • Design secure boot, HSM/secure-element integration, encryption, key management, and secure provisioning.
  • Lead threat modeling, security risk analysis, and attack-surface analysis throughout the device lifecycle.
  • Translate identified threats into architectural controls, product security requirements, and verification activities.
  • Maintain the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and component security requirements for embedded platforms.
  • Define secure communication architectures for BLE, wired/wireless interfaces, and remote-monitoring connectivity.
  • Support secure eFOTA and firmware update architectures including signing, authentication, and integrity verification.
  • Integrate cybersecurity requirements into systems, software, hardware, manufacturing, and risk-management processes.
  • Support regulatory submissions and ensure compliance with medical-device cybersecurity standards.

What we're looking for

  • Must possess a Bachelor’s degree in a related field with 4 years of relevant experience.
  • Must possess a Master’s degree in a related field with 2 years of relevant experience.
  • Must have extensive experience in embedded security, IoT security, firmware, connected devices, or medical-device development.
  • Must possess unrestricted U.S. work authorization at the time of hire and for the duration of employment.
  • Strong knowledge of cryptography, HSM/secure elements, PKI, secure boot, provisioning, firmware signing, BLE/network security, and embedded secure development (preferred).
  • Experience with threat modeling, Security Risk Assessment, SBOM, Security-by-Design, Defense-in-Depth, and regulated product development (preferred).
  • Understanding of medical device regulations and standards such as FDA guidance, ISO 13485, and ISO 81001-5-1 (preferred).
  • Ability to communicate complex technical information creatively and effectively to diverse audiences (preferred).
