System on Chip Security Architect

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHINGWe care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences - the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world's most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.AMD together we advance_The Role:In this SoC Security Architect role you will define the platform and SoC level technologies for a wide breadth of domains including but not limited to cryptographic HW functions, DRAM encryption, virtualization, isolation/sandboxing, life cycle management, secure boot & debug. In addition, you will work with SoC architects to influence chip architecture to maximize overall PPA efficiency while striving highest security assurance.The Person:The SoC Product Security Architect is a high-visibility role acting as the end-to-end platform security owner working with chip and system architecture teams to understand current threat models and define the security architecture aligning across AMD IP and SW security roadmap for CPUs, dGPU, datafabric and die-to-die communication as well as hypervisor designs and virtualization addition, the SoC Product Security Architect will coordinate with AMD Product Security Incident Reporting Team (PSIRT) to resolve security incidents for a given family of products.Key Responsibilities:Work with customers and understand their use cases and requirements and fold that into platform security architecture requirementsKeep up to date with AMD IP and SW security roadmap for CPUs, GPU, datafabric and die-to-die communication as well as hypervisor designs and virtualization technologies.Work with firmware, software, tools teams to understand how use cases are impacted by security policyDeliver relevant security architecture specification sections to broader teams and define requirements for subsystem architectsAssess PPA trade-offs for various optimization proposalsDefine boot and debug security architecturesDefine device life cycle and key provisioning architecturesDeliver relevant security architecture specification sections to broader teams and define requirements for subsystem architectsDefine a security architecture against the latest threat modelsImplement security policies (soc register access, memory access, DRM content protection etc)Review validation security test plansLead security policy violation debugPreferred Experience:Strong understanding of one or more security technologies like ARM TrustZone, Intel TXT, SGX and AMD SEV technologiesDeep understanding of threat models and security architecture in soc'sStrong experience working in SoC/ASIC design/validation/architectureStrong system and computer architecture experienceUnderstand of GPU architecture is a plusFamiliarity with SoC security technologies for client and server spacesExperience with architecture and design of HW cryptographic acceleratorsFamiliarity with Hypervisor designs and virtualization technologiesStrong understanding of cryptographic algorithms and protocolsGood understanding of secure boot and firmware update technologiesAcademic CredentialsMS degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science; 10 years of practical experience preferredCan be based in Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA#LI-LB1Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.AMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
