Responsibilities & Duties

This is a hands-on technical role that involves a mixture of developing architecture specifications, flows, designs, some coding, conducting reviews and pathfinding activities and establishing technical objectives. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Develop architecture for security in custom SOCs (System on Chip) and companion processors.
• Define and prototype security mechanisms and contribute to threat model development for a diverse product portfolio in multi-chip packaging technology.
• Assess all potential attack vectors throughout the product lifecycle and mitigating through architecting mechanisms, establishing internal policies, and monitoring.
• Engage with ecosystem partners to bring advance new ways of securing our products based on industry's best and standard practices.
• Proliferate robust security principles through your technical contributions and evangelization into our organization work-practices, including threat modeling, secure code reviews, fuzzing & penetration testing, rapid resolution of security defects and promote Hackathon activities.
• Respond to customer/client requests or events as they occur.
• Actualize knowledge of state-of-the-art security principles, theories and attacks and proactively mitigate security vulnerabilities.
• Influence, technically, silicon design teams, ASIC, Firmware, industry spec committees, peers, and managers.
• Contribute to the development of intellectual property.

Experience:

• 5+ years of experience with security architectures, designs, or implementations.
• Strong knowledge of the Security Development Lifecycle – adaptable to Intel practices.
• Expertise in architecture of and evangelizing robust security features for DNN Accelerators.
• Demonstrated ability to rapidly analyze issues, diagnose root cause and apply corrective actions.
• In-depth understanding of security concepts, such as threat modelling, security lifecycle, secure HW/SW architecture, and design, knowledge of cryptographic application (algorithms, usage etc.), security implication of sharing memory coherently between Host CPU and CXL endpoints etc.
• In-depth knowledge of various CPU architectures, possessing ability to identify opportunities to enhance security, and detecting security vulnerabilities in integration of external 3rd party IPs in a multi-chip package design.
• Influence a Security-First mindset in IFS products.
• Possess multilayered technical expertise to lead Security initiatives and pathfinding efforts.
• Experience with firmware development environments including compilers, debuggers, and emulators.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
