Staff Platform Security Engineer

• Design and implement embedded security solutions for next-generation automotive platforms.
• Translate high-level security and system requirements into scalable, secure embedded system designs.
• Collaborate with systems engineering to refine requirements and ensure feasibility in embedded environments.
• Partner with cybersecurity teams to define and implement security architectures and platform-level security components.
• Work closely with test teams to support validation activities, including test case development and issue resolution.
• Identify gaps in existing architecture and design, then build and integrate missing components end-to-end.
• Develop, maintain, and optimize embedded software using Embedded C as the primary language.
• Implement and support unit testing and participate in broader system and integration testing efforts.
• Utilize Git for version control and Jira for task/issue tracking to manage day-to-day development work.
• Contribute to secure services, key provisioning workflows, and cryptographic operations within the platform.
• Troubleshoot complex issues in a Linux-based embedded environment, including performance and security-related defects.
• Operate as a self-directed engineer, driving delivery of key platform milestones and contributing production-level code on aggressive timelines.

• 10+ years of embedded systems development experience
• Strong hands-on experience with Embedded C as primary development language
• Proven track record of building security into shipped embedded products
• Strong experience working in Linux-based embedded environments
• Experience designing and implementing embedded security solutions (platform-level security, secure services, key provisioning, etc.)
• Comfortable working in early-stage, prototype, and pre–go-to-market environments
• Ability to work independently, operate in ambiguity, and drive solutions end-to-end
• Experience collaborating with systems engineering, cybersecurity, and test/validation teams
• Proficiency with Git for source control
• Experience using Jira or similar tools for work tracking and issue management
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and unit testing skills in embedded contexts
• Rust programming experience (even better)
• Experience with TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
• Experience with secure boot implementations
• Experience with key provisioning and cryptographic services
• Background in automotive platforms (highly preferred)
• Experience in consumer devices (mobile, IoT, etc.)
• Experience at semiconductor companies (e.g., Qualcomm, AMD, Intel, Broadcom)
