Job Description
About the Role:
As a Security Engineer, Hardware Security you will be a key member of the Product Security Team. You will be the primary Security partner for Engineering and Hardware teams, focusing on design reviews, threat modeling, and building scalable "secure-by-default" components (libraries, services, frameworks, components) that empower hardware engineers to ship the product securely. You will work across teams, influencing security and driving the hardware security initiative.
This is a highly strategic and technical role for architects who want to scale security through programs, influence, and engineering excellence, focusing on design, automation, and enablement.
What You’ll Do:
- Build the hardware and embedded security baseline and process across Motive devices, including boot chain, firmware, FOTA, and manufacturing
- Drive relationships with hardware engineering team to ensure findings are prioritized, validated and remediated
- Identify and assess hardware security risks across the product lifecycle including designing, manufacturing, deployment, updating, and decommissioning
- Lead hardware security architecture reviews, threat modeling, and security testing for product systems
- Define and review security requirements for hardware platforms, embedded systems, firmware interfaces, boot processes, debug capabilities, and device lifecycle controls in cloud-connected environments.
- Drive end to end security for device hardware across IoT andcloud security infrastructure
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years years of experience in Hardware Security, including creating security by design patterns into new devices and platforms
- 5+ years of experience in working with product teams creating security designs and providing security requirements
- 5+ years of hands on development experience in the programming languages like python and C/C++
- Strong understanding of hardware root of trust, secure boot, attestation, key protection, device identity, and secure provisioning concepts.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience designing, reviewing, and validating security controls for hardware and low-level system architectures.
- Experience in cloud security, runtime security, supply chain security, and application security best practices
