Your responsibilities will include performing hardware security reviews, threat modelling, vulnerability assessments, and risk analysis; evaluating secure boot, trusted execution environments, key storage, cryptographic implementations, debug interfaces, and security lifecycle processes; and reviewing schematics, layouts, firmware interactions, and manufacturing considerations. You will help define security requirements and test strategies, support penetration testing and side-channel or fault-injection assessments, investigate findings, and recommend appropriate remediation. You may also contribute to security architecture documentation, technical reports, customer workshops, and presentations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

You should be comfortable using tools for debugging, firmware analysis, signal inspection, and vulnerability testing, and be able to communicate complex technical issues clearly. A proactive, analytical approach, strong report-writing skills, and the ability to work independently while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams are essential. Relevant professional certifications or a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, cybersecurity, or a comparable field would be beneficial.
