Staff Hardware Security I/O Engineer

The Security I/O Hardware Design team leads innovation, development, and integration of advanced security features and I/O solutions across a diverse product portfolio. The team operates within the Hardware Design Group, with two primary missions: to develop and integrate advanced I/O solutions by expertly managing complex IP projects, integrating both proprietary and third-party IPs, and pioneering new I/O technologies; and to implement robust security features across the SoC to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and resilience of hardware systems. Through these efforts, the team strives to deliver secure, high-performance hardware solutions that meet evolving technological demands and to the latest industry standards. The Role By joining this team, you will take ownership of designing, developing, and integrating advanced hardware IPs along with secure SoC features to deliver high-performance, reliable systems. Drive the design, development, and integration of advanced I/O solutions and complex IPs, including the integration of third-party IPs. Lead the implementation of security features across the SoC to ensure hardware integrity, confidentiality, and robustness. Lead the design of some hardware subsystems, including processing units, interconnects, memory, accelerators, and analog components. Contribute and participate in all aspects of IP development – including architecture definition, and integration to ensure high compatibility, performance, and security in complex SoC ecosystems. Collaborate closely across several teams, such as system, product, architecture, software, digital design and verification team, to ensure the cross-functional and design convergence. Evaluate and integrate hard and soft Security and I/O IPs. Develop and apply security models, threat analysis, and Trusted Computing Base concepts, such as Root of Trust and secure boot. Stay updated on emerging technologies, industry standards, and trends to continuously innovate I/O and security solutions. Manage complex dependencies across SoC project milestones, driving issue resolution with cross-team collaboration. Define and advance scalable methodologies, tools, and IP building blocks for efficient SoC development. Facilitate clear communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration throughout the full product development lifecycle with a security focus. Qualifications Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field. 10+ years of solid experience in IP/SoC architecture and design and implementation for ASIC or FPGA. Skills and Knowledge In-depth understanding of the Processor Microcontroller Subsystem (PuC SS), including secure boot processes and power management techniques for chiplets (RISC‑V core). Expertise in High-Speed I/O subsystems, managing interfaces such as UCIe and PCIe for high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity (Ethernet, PCIe, CXL, UCIe, LPDDR). Proficiency in Low-Speed I/O subsystem design and integration, managing slower peripheral interfaces (APB Peripherals, I2C, I3C, UART). Strong knowledge of Data Management principles, including data organization, buffering, and ensuring data integrity within SoC component (DMA). Experience with Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures, enabling efficient internal communication within SoC components (AMBA, AXI, CHI). Comprehensive understanding of hardware Security Features, including implementation of cryptographic modules, isolation, attestation, and trusted computing bases (AES, RSA, PUF, Random number generation, and related security technologies). Capability to design and integrate Monitoring & Sensor systems to track chiplet health and operational status. Ability to collaborate across design, verification, firmware, and system teams to ensure robust subsystem integration and security. Knowledge of industry standards relevant to I/O and hardware security protocols. What do we offer? Join an innovative team and experience company growth.
