Responsibilities

• Developing simulator models, compiler extensions and PoCs involving intrinsics for NIST-reviewed cryptographic algorithms.
• Review and contribute to specifications for future ISA and hardware to build cryptographic mechanisms.
• Support validation, hackathon teams with security-oriented tasks
• Implementing support for PoCs related to cryptography standards as applied to other industry standards such as PCIe, CXL, JEDEC etc.
• Debug security and performance issues with limited visibility, working in conjunction with hardware, firmware and kernel developers. 

Requirements

• Work or depth experience in analysis/application of crypto algorithms to a systems problem. 
• Demonstrated ability to develop original security research directions, and perform independent analysis of protocols using cryptographic mechanisms.
• Familiarity with mapping cryptographic primitives to low-level hardware interfaces, and impact on software is a plus.
• Assembly/C/C++ experience; Rust experience is not necessary, but a plus.
• Contributions to crypto algorithms reviewed at industry standards a plus
• Experience with compilers (e.g. LLVM) and/or with Formal verification is a plus.
• Experience with RISC-V vector and crypto extensions is a plus but not required.
• Excellent skills in problem solving, written and verbal communication, excellent organization skills, and highly self-motivated.
• Ability to work well in a team and be productive under aggressive schedules.

Education and Experience

• PhD, Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in technical subject area.
