About the role

Our technology protects the world's most critical infrastructure-from data centers to next generation cloud and AI platforms-by securing systems at the foundation levels of hardware, independent of host CPUs and operating systems.
We value curiosity, execution, respect, and a shared desire to make a meaningful impact on the security and reliability of the digital world.
If you're driven to innovate, energized by hard problems, and excited to help define the future of secure AI infrastructure, we invite you to apply and join us on this journey.

Own PFR architecture and implementation for multiple product lines.
Design and develop secure firmware modules that implement protections for BIOS, FPGA, BMC, and other critical platform firmware.
Integrate and validate hardware root-of-trust solutions (e.g., Intel PFR, TPM, cryptographic accelerators).
Implement firmware recovery mechanisms to restore integrity after detection of corruption or compromise.
Perform threat modeling and risk assessments specific to firmware-level attacks.
Develop test strategies for validating PFR capabilities, including attack simulation and penetration testing.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, BIOS, security, cloud) to ensure seamless integration of PFR features.
Mentor engineers in firmware security principles, secure coding practices, and resiliency design patterns.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
20+ years of experience in embedded software development, with a strong background in C/C++.
Strong understanding of Platform Firmware Resiliency concepts and NIST SP 800-193 requirements.
Experience with secure boot, measured boot, and cryptographic verification of firmware.
Familiarity with UEFI/BIOS architecture, BMC firmware, and FPGA firmware update flows.
Hands-on experience with hardware root-of-trust solutions (e.g., Intel PFR, TPM 2.0).
Familiarity with secure firmware update protocols (e.g., capsule updates, signed images).
Knowledge of supply chain security for firmware components.
Staff Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) standard to lead the design, development, and optimization of secure firmware solutions that meet the required compliance standards.

Experience with Intel Server Platform Services (SPS) or similar management engines is a plus.

We are headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley, with access to the world's leading research, technology and talent.
We are building an exceptional team to secure every node on the internet.
