This role combines ethical hacking, vulnerability research, and clean-room reverse-engineering practices to understand how systems work, identify security weaknesses, and help engineering teams remediate them responsibly along with future proofing.
This role works closely with product, infrastructure, security, hardware, and platform teams, as well as external silicon and hardware vendors. You will be deeply hands-on, owning early prototypes through production-ready platform software and technical standards.
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Experience in embedded security, hardware hacking, firmware analysis, reverse engineering, penetration testing, or vulnerability research.
-
Knowledge of security technologies including TPM, Secure Boot, kernel signing, and encryption frameworks.
-
Working knowledge of hardware interfaces and protocols, including UART, JTAG, SPI, I²C, USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or proprietary RF.
Internal Responsibilities
Reverse engineer firmware, binaries, bootloaders, protocols, and device interfaces.
Analyze hardware using UART, JTAG/SWD, SPI, I²C, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and related lab tools.
Conduct protocol, RF, wireless, and physical security testing, where authorized.
Produce clear technical reports with reproduction steps, severity, impact, and mitigation recommendations.
Mentor engineers participate in design reviews, and define standards for maintainable, supportable, production-grade firmware across teams.
