A Global semiconductor giant based in Cork are seeking to bolster their team with a dynamic Security Firmware Engineer.
Responsibilities:
* Develop and maintain security software for AI accelerator cards, including trusted device assignment, lifecycle management, and secure interconnects based on TDISP.
* Build SR-IOV-enabled secure execution environments to ensure PCIe virtual function isolation and attestation.
* Implement and integrate PCIe security protocols (SPDM, CMA, MCTP, IDE, DOE) and enforce secure boot and attestation within the Trusted Execution Environment.
* Enhance memory management and performance in secure enclaves while maintaining strict security guarantees.
* Troubleshoot and resolve complex software issues using JTAG, RAM dumps, and secure debugging; participate in threat modeling, risk assessments, and standards compliance (TDISP, OCP, TCG, Confidential Computing Consortium).
Requirements:
* 3+ years of experience in system or embedded software development, ideally focusing on security features for compute or server platforms.
* Strong proficiency in C/C++ with experience in Linux-based embedded systems, device drivers, RTOS, and SoC architectures.
* Solid understanding of cryptography and its application in security protocols; hands-on experience with secure boot, attestation, TPM, and ARM TrustZone technologies.
* Familiarity with source control (git/Gerrit), debugging and development tools (compilers, profilers, emulators, JTAG, serial debuggers, logic analysers), and contributions to open-source security or virtualization projects.
* Knowledge of TDISP, SPDM, IDE, DOE, DICE protocols; experience with RISC-V is a plus.
