Senior Research Scientist, AI-Enabled Secure Systems

Responsibilities

• Define a high-impact research agenda and lead projects in AI-enabled secure system design, implementation, analysis, and verification.
• Develop models, agents, and tools for security requirements and specification, threat modeling, architecture exploration, secure code and hardware generation, program analysis, synthesis, and proof construction.
• Combine AI techniques with static and dynamic analysis, formal verification, symbolic reasoning, testing, and domain-specific security knowledge to produce reliable and machine-checkable results.
• Build end-to-end prototypes and evaluate them on realistic hardware and software systems, measuring security, correctness, scalability, performance, and human productivity.
• Collaborate across hardware, software, AI, research, and product teams; publish original research; mentor researchers and interns; and translate advances into practical developer and design capabilities.
• What we need to see
• A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent research experience.
• 6+ years of relevant experience, with an established record of research excellence demonstrated through influential publications, open-source systems, patents, technology transfer, or substantial research collaborations.
• Deep expertise in one or more relevant areas such as formal methods, program analysis, programming languages, software or hardware security, computer architecture, compilers, AI for code, or automated reasoning and synthesis.
• Experience defining and leading ambiguous, multi-disciplinary research projects and providing technical mentorship.
