Zur Position

We are seeking a Principal Embedded Security Vulnerability Analyst to lead deep technical analysis of embedded systems, focusing on identifying and understanding vulnerabilities at the hardware/software boundary. You will drive the discovery and analysis of complex vulnerabilities in low-level firmware, boot code, and system components, and influence the security architecture of next-generation products. This role requires expert-level systems thinking, a deep understanding of attack techniques, and the ability to reason about complex execution environments.

You will also define and advance modern vulnerability analysis approaches, including the integration of AI-assisted and agentic workflows, to significantly improve the depth, scalability, and effectiveness of security assessments. If you are already exploring how LLMs and agentic workflows can augment deep code and system analysis, this role provides an opportunity to apply, scale, and shape these approaches across an organization. We welcome both: - experienced security researchers - highly experienced embedded engineers with a demonstrated transition into security
