About the role

We’re scaling from prototypes to manufacturing, and the process maturity needs to match. This role owns the secure manufacturing pipeline — the procedures, tooling, and controls that take a bare board in an untrusted CM facility and turn it into a cryptographically enrolled, OTA-ready device that our cloud fleet trusts. You’ll be the bridge between our secure boot/firmware teams and the cloud control plane, connecting them at the point of manufacture.

What they're looking for

  • PKI and device identity — Experience with X.509 certificate lifecycles, mTLS, device authentication and attestation, and managed CA services like AWS Private CA
  • AWS infrastructure — S3, IAM, ECS, KMS, CloudHSM and Secrets Manager for secure provisioning workflows
  • EOL test and calibration — Hands-on experience defining manufacturing test frameworks, experience with hardware test fixtures
  • Scripting and automation — Advanced skills in Python or Bash for developing production-grade provisioning toolchains
  • Advanced skills and understanding of Rust, Bazel, Systemd
  • Embedded Linux systems — Experience with NVIDIA Jetson Orin/Thor platforms
