About the Role

This role will provide technical leadership for the architecture, development, integration, and deployment of embedded firmware and platform software solutions for Secure Computing products, with a focus on Embedded Controllers (EC), secure boot, root-of-trust technologies, TrustZone-enabled systems, and next-generation secure computing platforms.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, product management, silicon, validation, and customer-facing teams to drive product innovation, platform enablement, and customer success across x86 and Arm-based systems.
• Lead architecting secure firmware solutions, customer onboarding and technical engagements, strategic customer deployments, software architecture decisions, and mentoring engineering teams.
• Develop and integrate TrustZone and Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) based solutions, secure provisioning frameworks, cryptographic services, secure firmware update mechanisms, and embedded AI technologies for intelligent endpoint and edge-computing applications.
• Act as a technical authority for complex customer issues, security architecture reviews, platform software strategy, and next-generation product development initiatives.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience in embedded firmware and software development for microcontrollers, embedded processors, and secure computing platforms.
• Expert-level programming skills in Embedded C.
• Strong scripting capabilities using Python.
• Strong understanding of ARM architectures, Linux environments, and command-line build systems.
• Experience developing software for Cortex-M based platforms including TrustZone-enabled architectures.
• Experience with Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M), PSA concepts, secure and non-secure partitioning, and trusted execution environments.
• Strong understanding of secure boot, root-of-trust, device attestation, cryptographic provisioning, key management, and firmware resiliency architectures.
• Experience with cryptographic technologies including AES, RSA, ECC, ECDSA, SHA and modern security frameworks.
• Experience with Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, Chromium EC firmware, and embedded software architecture.
• Experience with communication protocols such as I2C, I3C, SPI, eSPI, UART, USB, and related embedded interfaces.
• Experience with embedded debugging tools, oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and system-level troubleshooting.
• Experience in software deployment, verification, validation, and customer product enablement.
• Strong problem-solving, technical leadership, mentoring, communication, and customer-facing skills.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives across geographically distributed teams and influence product strategy through innovation and architectural leadership.
• Understanding of DICE, CDI, SPDM, eROT, secure provisioning, firmware update, and recovery architectures.
• Experience with Embedded AI, TinyML, TensorFlow Lite Micro, CMSIS-NN, or AI inference deployment on resource-constrained systems.
• Knowledge of AI model optimization, secure AI deployment, and edge intelligence frameworks.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity standards, secure development practices, and emerging industry compliance requirements.
