  • Experience securing and debugging systems across hardware, firmware, and software, including security assessment, vulnerability analysis, and developing and applying fixes
  • Experience provisioning and managing keys, certificates, and device identities (secure boot signing, attestation, PKI), with a solid understanding of platform security concepts: secure boot, attestation, cryptography, memory safety, and isolation
  • Proficient in C/C++ and at least one scripting language (Python or similar), and comfortable in Linux environments
  • Demonstrated fluency with AI-assisted and agentic development tooling in real engineering work
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to drive issues to resolution across teams and with customers
