Sr. Security Architect

About this role

Job Details:

Job Description: We are seeking a  Sr. Security Architect   to drive  security architecture for Client and Data Center SoCs , with a primary focus on  using  AI ‑ driven  tools to  build Specifications, Code,  Test, and  analyze   security vulnerabilities at scale .   This role defines how  modern AI techniques are applied to security  systems   across firmware and  low ‑ level  system hardware/software—augmenting and surpassing traditional manual  development and  review. The successful candidate is a recognized technical expert who can combine  deep SOC/Platform security  expertise   with  hands ‑ on  use of  AI ‑ based  analysis tools   to  build, test and  uncover real security flaws, systemic risks, and  cross ‑ layer  attack paths early in the product lifecycle.       Key Responsibilities   • Serve as the  technical lead   for  SOC security architecture   across Client and Data Center SOC/platform Definition:   • Boot ROMs, secure and measured boot flows   • Hardware–firmware–OS chains of trust     • AI Accelerator Security for Client NPU  

  Lead security discovery using  AI ‑ based  analysis tools , with explicit responsibility for:   • Identifying  firmware and  low ‑ level  vulnerabilities at scale   • Discovering insecure coding patterns and flawed design assumptions   • Uncovering  cross ‑ layer  attack paths spanning silicon, firmware, and system software  

  Apply  AI ‑ assisted  code reasoning and  large ‑ scale  analysis   to:   • Rapidly analyze large firmware and platform codebases   • Explore edge cases, rare failure modes, and adversarial scenarios   • Assess security impact of design choices and implementation tradeoffs   •   Drive  firmware ‑ focused  threat modeling , enhanced by AI tools that broaden coverage,  identify  emergent risks, and reduce reliance on manual enumeration alone.   • Define and own  firmware security architecture specifications , informed directly by insights from  AI ‑ driven  security discovery rather than policy or  checklist ‑ only  approaches.   • Partner deeply with  SoC architects, silicon designers, firmware engineers, and OS/virtualization teams   to translate discovered risks into concrete mitigations and architectural guidance  and specifications .   • Shape platform and product security roadmaps by  identifying   systemic firmware and SoC risks revealed through  AI ‑ scale  analysis   across multiple products and generations.   • Mentor senior engineers and architects, setting  best practices for  AI ‑ enabled  security discovery, analysis, and review .  

What Success Looks Like:   • Client and Data Center SoCs ship with  resilient firmware security architectures grounded in real analysis .   • AI ‑ driven security capabilities definition becomes a  core pillar of firmware and SoC security practice , not a supplemental tool across multiple domains. (PMC, ESE, Punit, MCHECK  etc )   • Firmware and platform security issues are  systematically discovered earlier , with broader and deeper coverage than traditional review methods.   • Engineering teams rely on this role as the  authoritative voice on firmware security and AI ‑ enabled security discovery strategies .  

Other Work Location: Israel

Qualifications: Qualifications: • Bachelor’s or  Master’s degree in Computer Science , Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.   • Extensive experience (typically 10+ years) in  Client and/or Data Center platform or firmware security architecture .   • Hands ‑ on  experience  of 2 +  years  using  AI ‑ based  tools specifically for  code generation and  security discovery , such as:   • AI ‑ assisted  static and semantic code  generation and  analysis   • Automated vulnerability discovery and reasoning over complex code paths   • dentification of insecure patterns and architectural weaknesses using AI 

• 5+ years   system ‑ level  programming skills (e.g., C/C++, Rust) and security automation , validation  (e.g., Python)  .  

Preferred Qualifications   • Experience defining  SoC, IP, or platform architecture specifications  consumed across multiple teams or products.   • Proven  track record  of discovering or preventing  critical firmware or  platform ‑ level  security issues  before production.   • Experience scaling  AI ‑ driven  security discovery  across large, shared firmware or platform codebases.   • Familiarity with Client and Data Center security technologies, including confidential computing and  virtualization ‑ based  security.   • Recognized influence as a  technical leader  within a large organization or industry ecosystem.
