Secure boot & RoT development: design, implement, and maintain a production-quality secure boot and Root of Trust stack for a 64-bit RISC-V MPU platform.
Enable and harden the boot and firmware stack (boot flow, early platform initialization, BootROM/FSBL, U-Boot, OpenSBI/firmware handoff as applicable).
Drive OS-level enablement for security: kernel/BSP integration, Device Tree updates, reserved memory regions, firmware interfaces, and secure/non-secure boundary definitions.
Develop and debug platform security components and drivers (crypto accelerators, key services, secure storage, lifecycle/provisioning flows, anti-rollback, and attestation hooks as applicable).
Deliver security collateral as part of SDK releases: integration, validation, and developer-facing documentation (bring-up/debug notes, known issues, and release readiness).
Pre
& post-silicon validation (AVV): create tests, validate on FPGA/first silicon, and root-cause issues across HW/FW/kernel (boot, crypto, isolation, and lifecycle).

B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
Strong experience minimum 10-13 years in low-level firmware/boot software, secure boot, and Root of Trust development on SoCs.
Expert-level C programming; comfortable reading low-level firmware and kernel-adjacent code.
Strong Linux internals knowledge: boot flow, memory management/MMU basics, privilege/isolation concepts, and system-level debugging.
Hands-on SoC/platform bring-up experience and ownership mindset for security and boot-stack quality.
Hands-on with U-Boot, Linux kernel, Device Tree, and Yocto/Open Embedded (or equivalent build systems).
Strong debugging skills with GDB and at least one of OpenOCD/JTAG, Lauterbach, or similar tools.
Experience working on FPGA, emulation, or early-silicon platforms for bring-up/validation.

Build a secure boot and Root of Trust stack from the ground up and see it shipped in real products.
End-to-end ownership across pre-silicon → FPGA → first silicon → production SDK releases.
Work closely with architects and SoC teams; your validation data drives security decisions.
Deep technical work, strong peer group, and long-term growth on a strategic platform.
