We are seeking a Firmware Security Engineer to design, implement, and maintain security‑critical components in embedded firmware for next‑generation storage and controller products. This role focuses on device‑level security, including secure firmware update, lifecycle management, debug port control, Root of Trust (RoT) interactions, and protection of critical assets such as keys, OTP, and credentials.
The ideal candidate has strong low‑level firmware expertise combined with hands‑on experience in embedded security architectures and secure system design.
We are looking for candidates with not only an exceptional skillset, but also an exceptional mindset, willing to go above and beyond to make our breakthrough product even better.
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
* 5+ years of experience in firmware or embedded systems development.
* Solid proficiency in C / C++ for low‑level, resource‑constrained environments.
* Hands‑on experience with embedded security concepts, including secure boot, firmware authentication,



cryptography, and access control.
* Experience working close to hardware (register‑level programming, SoC integration).
* Experience with Root of Trust (RoT) architectures (HW‑RoT or FW‑RoT).
* Exposure to flash storage, controller firmware, or SoC‑based embedded platforms.
* Understanding of secure manufacturing, RMA modes, and field update security.
* Experience supporting security reviews, internal audits, or SDL processes.

* Security Firmware Architecture & Development
* Design and implement security layers within device firmware, aligned with product security requirements and ASIC security IP capabilities
* Integrate firmware with Root of Trust (RoT) subsystems, including support for both hardware‑based and firmware‑based RoT models where applicable.
* Ensure secure handling of cryptographic material and prevention of unauthorized access.
* Implement and integrate cryptographic primitives an
