## About the role

Embedded systems security for space operations poses unique challenges: remote systems that must operate in adversarial RF environments, resource- constrained hardware, and trade-offs between security and performance in real-time systems. As our Principal Embedded Systems Security Engineer, you'll own the security of our spacecraft, radio systems, and hardware platforms.

## What they're looking for

- Active security clearance, or the ability to obtain and maintain one
- Deep, hands-on expertise in embedded, hardware, and firmware security — including hardware attack surfaces, side-channel and fault-injection attacks, firmware security, secure boot, and hardware security modules (HSMs)
- Strong software development skills in C and C++, plus solid engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, API design, and debugging
- production systems) and comfort working across multiple languages and at low levels (assembly, firmware)
- Proven track record of building production security platforms, tooling, and foundational services used by hardware and embedded engineering teams
- Experience applying security testing methodologies for hardware and firmware, and building the tooling and frameworks to automate that testing at scale across engineering teams
