ASIC SSD Architect – Security Focus
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced ASIC SSD Architect to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will design and architect secure SSD solutions, emphasizing advanced security features such as Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Caliptra open-source security IP, and other hardware-based security mechanisms. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in SSD technology, cryptographic protocols, secure boot, and the ability to integrate robust security architectures into high-performance, low-power SSD controllers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define ASIC architecture and IP specifications with a strong focus on security features for SSD controllers.
- Drive HW/FW partitioning to ensure secure implementation of cryptographic and authentication mechanisms.
- Collaborate across multiple product lines to gather security requirements and define architecture.
- Work closely with design and verification teams, providing technical guidance on security integration.
- Lead complex architectural activities involving multiple interfaces and security domains.
- Architect SSD solutions incorporating secure boot, key management, and hardware root of trust.
- Integrate Caliptra open-source security IP and ensure compliance with emerging security standards.
- Analyze SSD performance and reliability while maintaining strong security guarantees.
- Evaluate the entire process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place-and-route, timing, and power optimization with security considerations.
- Stay current with PQC algorithms, cryptographic standards, and security certifications relevant to storage devices.
