  • Collaborate with hardware and FPGA engineers to define system architecture and interface layers
  • Work on secure boot processes, BSPs, and diagnostic firmware for secure SSDs and other hardware
  • Implement cybersecurity measures such as encryption, secure key storage, and tamper detection in firmware
  • Oversee firmware testing infrastructure including unit testing, integration testing, and CI support
  • Interface with other engineering leads (software, hardware, FPGA, QA) to align schedules, requirements, and product goals
  • Contribute to system performance tuning and optimization
  • Stay up-to-date with best practices in embedded security, real-time processing, and secure firmware updates

  • Proficient in C / C++, with additional experience in Python for scripting and testing
  • Strong experience with ARM architectures (e.g., Cortex-A / M) and SoC platforms
  • Expertise in firmware-hardware interaction, device drivers, memory-mapped I / O, and BSPs
  • Experience developing for and integrating with FPGAs using Verilog / VHDL
  • Deep understanding of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and / or embedded Linux environments
  • Familiarity with hardware protocols including PCIe, I2C, SPI, UART, and DDR
  • Hands-on debugging experience using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
  • Proven ability to lead complex technical projects across multiple teams
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with secure embedded systems : secure boot, encryption, key management
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity principles, threat models, and countermeasures
  • Familiarity with AI / ML deployment on embedded platforms (e.g., anomaly detection via lightweight neural networks)
  • Experience with Git-based workflows, CI / CD pipelines, and build systems like Yocto or Buildroot
  • Experience with NVM (non-volatile memory) systems and custom SSD firmware development
  • Note
