We are seeking a Principal Embedded Security Vulnerability Analyst to lead deep technical analysis of embedded systems, focusing on identifying and understanding vulnerabilities at the hardware/software boundary.

You will drive the discovery and analysis of complex vulnerabilities in low-level firmware, boot code, and system components, and influence the security architecture of next-generation products. This role requires expert-level systems thinking, a deep understanding of attack techniques, and the ability to reason about complex execution environments.

You will also define and advance modern vulnerability analysis approaches, including the integration of AI-assisted and agentic workflows, to significantly improve the depth, scalability, and effectiveness of security assessments.

If you are already exploring how LLMs and agentic workflows can augment deep code and system analysis, this role provides an opportunity to apply, scale, and shape these approaches across an organization.

  • experienced security researchers

  • highly experienced embedded engineers with a demonstrated transition into security

Responsibilities

  • →

    Lead in-depth vulnerability analysis of embedded software (bare-metal, RTOS, trusted execution environments)

  • →

    Drive analysis of boot flows, privilege boundaries, and security-critical components (e.g., crypto libraries, key handling, isolation mechanisms)

  • →

    Own root cause analysis and assess exploitability and systemic impact of identified weaknesses

  • →

    Define and guide security evaluation strategies for certifications (e.g., PSA, SESIP, Common Criteria)

  • →

    Lead analysis of PSIRT incidents and drive structural and architectural improvements

  • →

    Architect and develop advanced analysis methodologies and tooling (static analysis, fuzzing, automation frameworks)

  • →

    Define and scale the use of AI-assisted techniques for code analysis and vulnerability discovery (e.g., LLM-based and agentic workflows)

  • →

    Design and institutionalize workflows that combine traditional analysis (static/dynamic) with AI-assisted approaches

  • →

    Evaluate and introduce emerging attack techniques and incorporate them into internal methodologies

  • →

    Influence product teams and architecture decisions by translating findings into systemic mitigations

  • →

    Mentor and guide other engineers in vulnerability analysis and research methodologies

Requirements

~1 min read
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

  • Deep understanding of low-level system behavior (memory layout, interrupts, privilege levels, concurrency)

  • Extensive experience in C programming; strong familiarity with ARM and/or RISC-V architectures

  • Strong experience with assembly-level debugging and low-level system analysis

  • Proven track record in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, or exploit development

  • Deep experience with static and dynamic analysis tools, fuzzing, or symbolic execution

  • Strong understanding of vulnerability classes (memory corruption, logic flaws, side channels) and exploitation techniques

  • Experience with debugging interfaces (e.g., JTAG, trace, GDB) in complex systems

  • Experience evaluating and operationalizing AI-assisted vulnerability discovery tools and workflows

  • Experience building scalable and automated analysis pipelines (e.g., scripting, distributed systems, agent-based approaches)

  • Rust experience or strong interest in memory-safe system design

  • Expert-level analytical thinking and strong intuition for how systems fail under adversarial conditions

  • Ability to lead complex, ambiguous technical investigations end-to-end

  • Strong interest in combining deep technical expertise with modern AI-assisted methodologies

  • Ability to influence technical direction across teams and organizational levels

  • Clear and authoritative communication of technical risks and findings

  • Mentorship mindset and willingness to develop others
