  • Understanding of ROM and Firmware development lifecycles and their security-related stages.

  • Strong communication and leadership skills to align security engineering priorities across multi-functional teams.

  • Expertise in firmware security, hardware security, and embedded systems architecture.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Detail-focused leader with a proven ability to use data from issue tracking systems to drive process improvements and establish metrics-based team goals.

  • Hands-on technical leadership experience including conducting code reviews, contributing to architecture decisions, and mentoring engineers in secure coding practices.

  • Experience working with validation, signing, and infrastructure teams on secure development workflows and certification readiness.

  • Knowledge of enterprise storage security standards (OCP, TCG, NVMe, PCIe, IEEE 1667, DMTF SPDM) or experience contributing to industry security standards groups.
