Principal Hardware Security Architect, Advanced Technologies – Threat Modeling

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• Establish the security roadmap for the platform and steer the long-term direction of product security.

• Work collaboratively with teams across hardware, software, research, and marketing.

• Research, design, and create strategies to mitigate risks from physical attacks such as fault injection and side-channel attacks.

• Promote the adoption of and adherence to OCP S.A.F.E. and associated assurance standards.

• Analyze and formulate threat models for advanced packaging, chiplets, silicon photonics, and optical on-chip networks.

• Examine threats posed by hardware Trojans, inter-chiplet side-channel analysis, and photonic connectivity.

• Leverage AI and innovative tools to enhance the discovery and triage of hardware vulnerabilities.

• Lead the evaluation of AI-assisted methodologies for hardware security verification and autonomous research agents focused on GPU kernel-driver fuzzing.

• Review architectural, microarchitectural, and verification specifications to ensure alignment with platform security.

• Collaborate with customers, partners, external organizations, and industry bodies to identify and resolve security challenges.

⛳️ Requirements

• Master's or PhD (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.

• Over 15 years of significant relevant work or research experience.

• Proficiency in the ASIC design process and the architecture of large System on Chips (SoCs) or GPUs.

• Strong fundamentals in programming and debugging across C/C++, Verilog, ARM assembly, and Python/Perl scripting.

• In-depth knowledge of SoC security architecture, including secure/measured boot and ARM or RISC-V CPU architectures.

• Direct experience implementing security measures against physical attacks, including fault injection and side-channel attacks.

• Familiarity with security threat modeling and penetration testing methodologies.

• Knowledge of OCP S.A.F.E. or similar industry security frameworks.

• Capability to thrive in a dynamic, customer-oriented team with excellent interpersonal skills.

• Published research or practical experience in securing 2.5D/3D ICs, chiplets, or System-in-Package designs against supply-chain tampering, interconnect attacks, and hardware Trojans.

• Expertise in the security vulnerabilities associated with silicon photonics and optoelectronic systems, including microring resonators and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) hardware.

• Proven experience in deploying AI/ML models for hardware vulnerability detection, automated triage, or autonomous fuzzing.

• Active involvement in standards organizations or a history of patenting security innovations.
