Top Cybersecurity Jobs in Austin, TX

The role is accountable for strategic security leadership across semiconductor engineering environments, guiding teams in security practices while ensuring business efficiency.

Develop and execute verification plans and testbenches (UVM/SystemVerilog/C) for Security IP and embedded processor subsystems. Verify cryptography, secure boot, key management, and multi-clock/multi-power domain IP; debug failures, improve verification methodology, and mentor teammates toward product sign-off.

Design and productize Hardware Security IP and subsystems for SoCs. Develop architectures, RTL, constraints; drive verification, debug, optimization, and sign-off. Mentor teammates and contribute to roadmaps, processes, and cross-team collaboration.

Design and define SoC security architectures including Root of Trust, Secure Boot, Key Management, Confidential Compute, attestation, secure manufacturing, and device lifecycle. Perform threat modeling, cryptographic analysis, hardware/software threat assessment, and collaborate across teams to develop security policies, access control, and mitigation strategies for hardware and firmware threats.

Perform adversarial security analysis of SoC microarchitectures across pre- and post-silicon platforms. Review architecture, RTL, firmware, and integration to identify vulnerabilities, develop PoCs/exploits, apply automation and AI-assisted techniques, collaborate with engineering teams, and improve threat models, mitigations, and offensive security tooling and methodologies.

Lead security architecture and the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) for Arm SoC and hardware security IP. Define SoC Root of Trust, Secure Boot, key management, confidentiality and access controls; perform threat modeling and derive security functional requirements. Own SDL process, produce security artifacts, drive V&V plans, support certifications (PSA, FIPS, ISO/SAE), mentor teams, and ensure security verification from concept through post-silicon delivery.

Lead response to high‑priority security incidents, coordinate investigations with internal teams, providers and law enforcement, improve IR and forensics capabilities across Windows, Linux, Mac, network and cloud environments, run post‑incident reviews and root cause analysis, contribute to IR policies and detection tuning, and support readiness exercises and incident planning.
