Back
Tier-1 employer, metro location, and mid-level experience increase competition despite niche embedded skills.
Role requires specialized SoC boot and security expertise, making cross-industry transfer difficult.
Explicit 5+ years requirement, mandatory low-level firmware/secure-boot skills, and silicon validation needs make screening strict.

Design, implement, and maintain a production-quality secure boot and Root of Trust stack for a 64-bit RISC-V MPU platform, including boot flow and early platform initialization.
Drive OS-level security enablement through kernel/BSP integration, Device Tree updates, and secure/non-secure boundary definitions.
Lead pre- and post-silicon validation and debugging of platform security components on FPGA and first silicon, delivering security collateral for SDK releases.
B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Computer or Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.
Typically 5+ years of experience in low-level firmware/boot software, secure boot, and Root of Trust development on SoCs.
Strong experience with C programming and Linux internals including boot flow, MMU basics, privilege/isolation, and system-level debugging.
Hands-on SoC/platform bring-up experience and proficiency with U-Boot, Linux kernel, Device Tree, Yocto/OpenEmbedded, and debugging tools like GDB, OpenOCD/JTAG or Lauterbach.
Experienced in secure boot and platform security for application-class CPU architectures, preferably with RISC-V or ARM TrustZone.
Demonstrated ownership mindset for security and boot-stack quality across pre-silicon to production SDK lifecycle.
Skilled in cross-functional collaboration with architects and hardware teams, using validation data to influence SoC security decisions.
