Silicon Engineering Company:
Microsoft Overview Microsoft Silicon, Cloud Hardware, and Infrastructure Engineering (SCHIE) is the team behind Microsoft’s expanding Cloud Infrastructure and responsible for powering Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” mission. SCHIE delivers the core infrastructure and foundational technologies for Microsoft's over 200 online businesses including Bing, MSN, Office 365, Xbox Live, Teams, One Drive, and the Microsoft Azure platform globally with our server and data center infrastructure, security and compliance, operations, globalization, and manageability solutions.
Our focus is on smart growth, high efficiency, and delivering a trusted experience to customers and partners worldwide and we are looking for engineers to help achieve that mission.
The Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering (CSME) organization within SCHIE is responsible for design, development, manufacturing and packaging of Microsoft's state-of-the-art computer chips, notably the Azure Cobalt. Our solutions provide sustainable strategic advantages to Microsoft and enable our customers to achieve more.
As Microsoft's cloud business continues to grow the ability to deploy new offerings and hardware infrastructure on time, in high volume with high quality and lowest cost is of paramount importance. To achieve this goal, the Shared and Custom IP & Silicon (SCIPS) team is instrumental in defining and elivering operational measures of success for hardware manufacturing, improving the planning process, quality, delivery, scale and sustainability related to Microsoft cloud hardware.
We are looking for engineers with a dedicated passion for customer focused solutions, insight and industry knowledge to envision and implement future technical solutions that will manage and optimize the Cloud infrastructure.
We are looking for a Principal Silicon Security Architect to lead security architecture for Microsoft custom silicon and SoC platforms. You will translate product threats, customer requirements, and platform security goals into actionable hardware, firmware, and software security architectures. The role spans threat modeling, hardware roots of trust, secure boot and lifecycle management, attestation, confidential computing, isolation, secure debug, cryptographic services, provisioning, physical attack resistance, and security validation.
You will partner across system, silicon, IP, firmware, software, verification, validation, and external engineering teams from early concept through production and post-silicon security closure. #SCHIE #CSME #SCIPSResponsibilities
The candidate for this position will be expected and able to complete the following responsibilities:
Lead end-to-end security architecture for complex SoCs and silicon subsystems from product requirements and threat analysis through architecture signoff, implementation, validation, production, and post-silicon issue resolution. Define the SoC security framework, trust boundaries, security objectives, assets, attacker models, and hardware, firmware, and software responsibilities. Lead threat modeling and security risk assessments covering hardware, firmware, software, microarchitectural, supply-chain, lifecycle, and physical attack surfaces; drive mitigations and residual-risk closure.
Architect hardware roots of trust, secure and measured boot, device identity and attestation, key management, secure provisioning, ownership transfer, lifecycle states, secure recovery, and firmware update…
