Product Security Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Security feature enablement: Bring up security features on new hardware. Every new product we release, we strive to have a uniform, straightforward experience for enabling basic hardware security features like secure boot, ARM TrustZone/OP-TEE, and hardware-backed encryption.
• System-level hardening: Toradex maintains Torizon OS, a secure, production-ready embedded Linux OS. Making sure that security features fit into the whole stack, and that configurations are secure-by-default for the most common and supported workflows is a key part of the job. Understanding how everything fits together is a must.
• Vulnerability management: Monitor upstream CVEs, assess their impact on Toradex products and their likely impact on Toradex customers' products. Apply patches and mitigations. Help draft security advisories and write VEX documents. Work on and maintain internal tooling for vulnerability management.
• Security testing and automation: Automate test coverage of security features. Familiarity with LAVA or other hardware-in-the-loop embedded testing methodologies and frameworks is a strong plus.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of experience in embedded systems security or adjacent areas (e.g. Linux security engineering)
• Hands-on experience with bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot), kernel security features, and embedded Linux distributions/build systems (Yocto/OpenEmbedded, buildroot, etc.)
• Solid C/C++ coding and debugging skills
• Experience with automating security checks in CI/CD pipelines
• Knowledge of threat modeling/risk modeling methodologies and how they relate to regulatory and standards compliance is a plus
• Knowledge of security evaluation and analysis tools like fuzzers and static analysis tools is a plus
