Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all .
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
Join Micron's diverse team, where you’ll play a pivotal role in advancing our elite memory and storage solutions. This is an outstanding opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation, crafting the future of secure firmware development!
Responsibilities
Integrate existing ASIC team APIs/workflows to help automate SCA/FI testing workflow.
Collaborate with hardware-based root-of-trust to test/verify security attestation of underlying system.
FPGA Emulation & Hardware Integration
Use FPGA prototyping platforms (Xilinx, Intel, etc.) to emulate ASICs and support pre-silicon firmware and test development.
Partner with hardware designers to boost our team’s proficiency in validating and testing custom IP.
ASIC Bring-Up & Post-Silicon Debugging
Bring up new silicon using low-level diagnostic firmware, with a focus on verifying security, reliability, and hardware-software integration.
Debug early silicon using JTAG, logic analyzers, and custom test harnesses.
Scripting & Automation
Write Python and shell scripts to automate test flows, validate register access, and perform continuous regression testing.
Assist the product security team by enabling quick and repeatable testing workflows, suitable for rapid SCA/FI test iteration.
Collaborate with security architects to ensure test coverage of hardware threat models.
Use fault injection and other techniques to verify resistance to tampering and unauthorized access.
Security & Vulnerability Research
Conduct firmware- and hardware-level vulnerability research on in-house and third-party IP blocks.
Investigate potential attack vectors that lead to privilege critical issues, side channel leakage, etc.
Stay ahead of emerging hardware threats such as speculative execution attacks, firmware rootkits, and side-channel techniques.
Develop firmware-level mitigations for potential side-channel attacks, as well as fault injection.
Required Qualifications
Master’s or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
Previous experience in embedded or low-level firmware development, including silicon bring-up and platform initialization.
Deep understanding of memory-mapped I/O, interrupt handling, boot sequences, and peripheral bring-up.
Hands-on experience with FPGA tools (Vivado, Quartus) and hardware debuggers (JTAG, SWD, protocol analyzers).
Experience developing for and interacting with secure IP blocks (e.g., crypto engines, OTP, secure fuses, trusted execution zones).
Preferred Qualifications
Sophisticated level experience with firmware-level security testing, including writing test vectors for secure state transitions and cryptographic operations.
Familiarity with hardware vulnerability research, including techniques like side-channel analysis, fault injection, and firmware fuzzing.
Knowledge of threat modeling, attack surface analysis, and mitigation strategies in silicon and firmware.
Experience analyzing or defending against firmware exploitation techniques (e.g., bootloader bypass, debug unlocks, backdoors).
Ability to read and interpret RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for purposes of firmware interaction and test coverage.
Contributions to security research, publications, CVEs, or open-source firmware/hardware security tools.
Previous experience using Python 3.10+ to automate testing and test development.
