About The Role

As a Staff Security Firmware Test Developer , you’ll be the technical owner of security validation for enterprise SSD firmware — designing, building, and executing test strategies that ensure our drives meet the highest standards for data protection, compliance, and interoperability.

Requirements

across FPGA and ASIC platforms. You’ll lead test automation, debug complex failures, and drive quality from design to production — ensuring our firmware is not just functional, but secure by design.

Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks that validate security features across FPGA and ASIC platforms , enabling rapid regression and continuous integration. Debug and root-cause complex security failures — working closely with firmware, hardware, and security architects to resolve issues at the protocol or implementation level. Define and execute test strategies that prove “secure by design” — not just functional correctness, but cryptographic integrity, attestation, and tamper resistance.

Own test coverage and quality gates for security-critical features — ensuring no release ships without passing validation against defined security specs.

and other industry security mandates.

and driving alignment on security validation outcomes.
