Security Firmware Engineer

Responsibilities

: Develop and design secure firmware, including threat modeling, security protocols, and cryptographic algorithms, with a focus on resource-constrained and connected devices. Implement and test secure firmware and tooling for our silicon, including subjects such as secure boot and over-the-air upgrades, cryptographic hardware acceleration, and other cryptographic services in the context of wireless protocols. Conduct thorough code reviews to identify security vulnerabilities and implement appropriate solutions, Perform penetration testing, fuzzing, and other security testing techniques to ensure the robustness of embedded systems against potential threats, including attacks targeting BLE, UWB, and 802.15.4 communication. Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations (such as ISO 27001, NIST, and IEC 62443) and industry and government security certification programs (such as PSA, SESIP and Common Criteria) throughout the development lifecycle, with a specific focus on wireless communication security. Create, review, and maintain security documentation, including security requirements, design specifications, and threat models, with consideration for the unique challenges posed by the IoT ecosystem. Work closely with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, hardware engineers, and product managers, to integrate security best practices into the development process for wireless-enabled embedded systems. Participate in incident response activities, including investigating security incidents and implementing corrective measures, with a particular emphasis on mitigating risks associated with wireless communication vulnerabilities.

Qualifications:

equivalent by experience. Minimum of 3 years of experience in embedded systems development on resource-constrained devices, with a focus on security, and experience working with wireless communication standards such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and IEEE 802.15.4 . Working knowledge of cryptographic principles, secure coding practices, and common security vulnerabilities (such as buffer overflows, injection attacks, and side-channel attacks). Proficiency in C/C++ and Python programming languages, with experience in embedded software development for wireless-enabled devices. Ability to read and debug assembly code, using tools such as disassemblers and debug probes. Experience in automated testing of embedded solutions. Familiarity with security tools and frameworks, such as static code analysis tools, debuggers, and vulnerability scanners, with a focus on their application in the context of wireless communication security. An understanding of the wider context of a connected device, including for example cloud enrollment and production constraints.
