Responsibilities
- Lead security engineering for RTOS, hypervisor, and embedded virtualization technologies across design, implementation, review, and verification
- Collaborate on CPU and SoC architecture, including privilege levels, memory protection, DMA, interrupts, boot flows, debug controls, and hardware isolation
- Build and implement defensive features such as strong partitioning, least-privilege access, secure communication, fault containment, secure updates, and recovery from malicious inputs
- Perform threat modeling and automotive TARA, and connect risks, mitigations, requirements, tests, and evidence to security and safety standards
- Review low-level C/C++ code, investigate vulnerabilities, build fuzzing and security test infrastructure, and drive fixes into production
Skills
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in systems, embedded, platform, product, or automotive security
- BSEE/ BSCS degree or equivalent experience
- Experience securing RTOS, hypervisor, kernel, firmware, boot, driver, or other privileged software

- Familiarity with CPU and SoC security concepts including MMU/SMMU or IOMMU, DMA, interrupts, boot, debug, and hardware-backed isolation
- Experience with threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitability assessment, fuzzing, static or dynamic analysis, and security remediation
- Familiarity with automotive cybersecurity, safety, or process standards such as ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, ISO 26262 interfaces, or Automotive SPICE
- Drove adoption of Rust, Ada/SPARK, formal methods, or other memory-safe and analyzable systems approaches
- Built capability-based or ownership-based security models for low-level systems
- Built security automation, fuzzing infrastructure, review agents, or AI-assisted tools used by engineering teams
Benefits
- Eligible for equity
