Security Test Engineer

We’re looking for a Security Test Engineer to design and execute test strategies that ensure the robustness and integrity of advanced silicon and IP products. You’ll work across teams to identify vulnerabilities, validate hardware security, and support certification and manufacturing readiness.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement test plans, coverage goals, and design-for-test (DFT) strategies for secure ICs and cryptographic IP.
• Conduct hardware-level vulnerability testing, including fault injection and side-channel analysis.
• Develop automated security test procedures and data analytics for test evaluation.
• Support product qualification, certification, and release-to-manufacturing processes.
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to maintain security integrity in production.
• Prepare comprehensive documentation and technical reports.
• Mentor team members in hardware security testing best practices.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in semiconductor test, validation, or hardware security evaluation.
• BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related field.
• Strong understanding of cryptographic principles, hardware security modules, and tamper-resistant design.
• Hands-on experience with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) or custom hardware setups.
• Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Tcl for test automation.
• Knowledge of analog/mixed-signal fundamentals and secure memory design.
• Familiarity with standards like FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, or ISO/IEC 17825.
• Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
