Job Description: 

We are seeking a Sr. Security Architectto drive security architecture for Client and Data Center SoCs, with a primary focus on using AIdriven tools to build Specifications, Code, Test, and analyze security vulnerabilities at scale. This role defines how modern AI techniques are applied to security systemsacross firmware and lowlevel system hardware/software—augmenting and surpassing traditional manual development and review. The successful candidate is a recognized technical expert who can combine deep SOC/Platform security expertisewith handson use of AIbased analysis toolsto build, test and uncover real security flaws, systemic risks, and crosslayer attack paths early in the product lifecycle. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Serve as the  technical leadfor SOC security architectureacross Client and Data Center SOC/platform Definition: 
  • Boot ROMs, secure and measured boot flows 
  • Hardware–firmware–OS chains of trust  
  • AI Accelerator Security for Client NPU 

 

Lead security discovery using AIbased analysis tools, with explicit responsibility for: 

  • Identifying firmware and lowlevel vulnerabilities at scale 
  • Discovering insecure coding patterns and flawed design assumptions 
  • Uncovering crosslayer attack paths spanning silicon, firmware, and system software 

 

Apply AIassisted code reasoning and largescale analysisto: 

  • Rapidly analyze large firmware and platform codebases 
  • Explore edge cases, rare failure modes, and adversarial scenarios 
  • Assess security impact of design choices and implementation tradeoffs 
  •  Drive firmwarefocused threat modeling, enhanced by AI tools that broaden coverage, identify emergent risks, and reduce reliance on manual enumeration alone. 
  • Define and own firmware security architecture specifications, informed directly by insights from AIdriven security discovery rather than policy or checklistonly approaches. 
  • Partner deeply with SoC architects, silicon designers, firmware engineers, and OS/virtualization teamsto translate discovered risks into concrete mitigations and architectur
