from power-on to runtime in a virtualized, multi-tenant deployment.
This role focuses on designing and integrating security features such as Root of Trust
(RoT), secure boot and firmware upgrades, key lifecycle management, encryption
engines, and isolation mechanisms at both the firmware and hardware layers. You will
define and drive architectural specifications for secure PCIe interfaces, memory
encryption support (e.g., for LPDDR or HBM), and establishing chain of trust between RISC-
V cores.
Responsibilities:
• Define and develop secure boot flows, authentication, and RoT frameworks for
PCIe-based AI accelerator cards.
• Define and develop the verification plan for the secure sub-system of the SoC
including but not limited to secure boot, firmware upgrade, key lifecycle
management, and threat vector modeling.
• Architect SoC-level and IP-level protections, including memory encryption and
secure debug interfaces.
• Integrate security-specific IPs such as crypto engines, key managers, and security
monitors/sensors.
• Collaborate with firmware, system software, and verification teams to ensure
secure HW/SW co-design
• Ensure compliance with security standards and best practices (e.g., NIST, FIPS, PSA
Certified).
• Participate in silicon bring-up and validation of secure features.
Required Background:
• BS/MS/Ph.D. in EE, CS, or related field with 10-25+ years of SoC design experience.• Strong knowledge of hardware security architecture, trusted execution
