The Senior/Principal RTL & Embedded Security Firmware Engineer is responsible for the hardware design and low-level firmware of a secure FPGA-based programming and HSM platform built on PolarFire SoC devices. The role spans FPGA fabric RTL design, IP core integration, and the bare-metal / RTOS firmware that drives that hardware.
Responsibilities
- Design and RTL Ownership
- Design, implement, and maintain FPGA fabric RTL for a multi-device secure platform, including device configuration, core separation, and security-monitor logic.
- Integrate third-party and internal IP cores (post-quantum crypto accelerators, SHA-3 / Keccak, JTAG and SPI programming cores) and bring them up on real hardware.
- Own the high-speed serial link between devices, including the hardware layer and its authenticated, encrypted full-duplex data path.
- Drive synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and resource optimization.
- Define and evolve RTL coding standards, review practices, and design methodology.
- Security Hardware Mechanisms
- Define and implement physical attack detection (tamper) mechanisms and the corresponding response actions.
- Design and implement zeroization logic and its verification, per ISO 19790 requirements.
- Define and implement the secure, certifiable update scheme for FPGA fabric, bootloader, and firmware images, including self-programming / in-application programming flows.
