We are looking for: Embedded Security Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled Security Engineer to join our R&D Automotive team, focused on the vulnerability-management lifecycle for our cellular module firmware. The ideal candidate has a strong background in embedded Linux and security analysis, and is comfortable taking a raw CVE or vendor bulletin and determining, with evidence, whether it's a real risk for our product, then driving the fix across the full stack, from Linux userspace down to baseband code.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform scanning and analyze of CVE/OSS for firmware releases
• Maintain an accurate SBOM (software bill of materials) per product/release, covering open-source and proprietary vendor components.
• Analyze whether a CVE is actually reachable and exploitable in our configuration
• Write risk assessments and dispositions (affected / not affected / mitigated / fix planned) per product line and release for customers.
• Prioritize fixes based on severity, exploitability, and exposure; escalate critical remotely-exploitable issues immediately.
• Backport upstream fixes into our Yocto build
• Integrate Qualcomm security patches, TrustZone/QTEE, and bootloader trees; adapt patches that conflict with local modifications.
• Verify fixes end-to-end: rebuild affected images, run regression tests, and re-test proof-of-concept exploits where available.
• Maintain patch and disposition history per firmware release; feed fixes into release planning and release notes.
• Support customer security questionnaires, audits, and regulatory/certification needs (UNECE R155/CSMS, ISO/SAE 21434, carrier and RED/CRA requirements).
• Improve pipeline automation: CVE scanning in CI, SBOM generation, and alerting on new advisories affecting shipped versions.

Qualifications:

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years embedded Linux development, with strong C (and working C++) skills.
• Hands-on Yocto/OpenEmbedded experience: BitBake recipes, layers, .bbappend/patch workflow, devtool.
• Linux kernel patching experience: backporting fixes from mainline/LTS to a vendor kernel.
• Solid security fundamentals: vulnerability classes, CVSS scoring, threat modeling of embedded attack surfaces.
• Good troubleshooting instincts: comfortable with incomplete information, diagnosing on-target with serial console, gdb, and logs.
• Proficient with git/gerrit on large multi-repo codebases, cross-compilation, and debugging on embedded targets.
• Excellent written communication skills: able to produce clear, precise technical risk assessments for customers and auditors.

Strongly Preferred:

• Qualcomm platform experience: modem/baseband codebase structure (AMSS, Hexagon DSP), TrustZone/QTEE, secure boot chain, EFS/NV configuration.
• Cellular protocol knowledge (LTE/5G NAS/RRC, IMS/VoLTE, SIM/UICC).
• Experience with Qualcomm tooling (QXDM/QCAT log analysis, QFIL).
• SELinux policy, secure coding review, fuzzing, or penetration-testing experience.
• Familiarity with automotive/regulatory security frameworks: UNECE R155, Cyber Resilience Act, carrier security requirements.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Flexible working hours and remote work options.
