You will own & establish the vision for future generations of security hardware. ### Job Responsibilities - Define SoC hardware security architecture and requirements, including HSM specification, secure boot/RoT concepts, and cryptographic IP integration strategies.(AES/SHA/PKA/PUF/PQC etc) - Translate security features into high-level HW/SW specifications and derive HW requirements to design a product - Lead threat modeling, risk assessments, and vulnerability analysis; translate into architectural mitigations and design constraints. Architect HW/SW security boundaries and co-design flows for secure boot, firmware services, drivers, and runtime protection. Define secure key storage/provisioning (eFUSE/OTP) and security-aware DFT/TEST strategies balancing coverage and attack resistance. Collaborate with architecture, RTL, verification, DFT, PD, and software teams to embed security into implementation and validation flows. Ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards (ISO 21434), optimize for PPA trade-offs, and drive system-level security validation. Stay current on threats/standards and provide technical leadership through reviews and security guidance. ### Other Responsibilities Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Architecture, RTL Design, Verification, DFT, Physical Design, Firmware/Software, Systems, Quality, and Product/Customer teams) to align security, safety, test, and product requirements and to support customer discussions, audits, and security reviews. Ensure security, safety, and system-level design compliance in architecture, adhering to relevant standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508). ### Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering or a related field. 10–15+ years of experience in SoC or MCU design with a strong focus on hardware security architecture and HW/SW interactions. Strong understanding of SoC architecture, AMBA/AXI-class interconnects, memory subsystems, and how security policies are enforced across HW/SW boundaries. Proven experience with threat modeling, risk assessment, security validation, and vulnerability analysis for SoC-based systems. Hands-on background with RTL design, synthesis concepts, and EDA flows sufficient to review and guide secure implementation (even if not the primary RTL owner). Excellent written and verbal communication skills for specifications, reviews, and stakeholder alignment. More information about NXP in the United States...
