We are working with a fast scaling Semiconductor company, who are looking for an experienced Hardware Security Engineer to join their growing hardware security team. You’ll define and own SoC security architecture across our Root of Trust, secure boot, cryptographic IP, and key management, while driving vulnerability analysis and mitigation across pre-silicon and production systems. This is a hands-on role bridging high-level security requirements with RTL-level implementation in a fast-paced, deep-tech environment.
