International Association
for Cryptologic Research

You will join the team responsible for the security architecture of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. The team works at a system level spanning across hardware, software and infrastructure while striving for industry-leading solutions. This team interacts with product management, customers (e.g., OEMs), partners and HW/SW engineering teams to find the optimal security solutions.
Snapdragon processors are used in different types of devices ranging from mobile phones to televisions, cars, ultra-book laptops etc. Our processors are designed to meet security requirements ranging from content protection to enterprise security, using virtualization, HW security enclaves, factory key provisioning, and secure updates.
In this position you will perform the following tasks:

• Define HW crypto security requirements (functional, performance, security etc)
• Define HW/SW partitioning to address next challenges in cryptography such as PQC and Crypto Agility
• Define crypto and HW blocks that contribute to the overall SoC Security Architecture
• Design of mechanisms thwarting side channel attacks
• Monitor evaluation of crypto IP resistance and robustness
• Competitive analysis of security IPs and features
• Investigate future/roadmap security related technologies,
• Participation in academic conference and industrial/research security working groups.

Minimum Qualifications: MS or Bachelor in Computer Science, Mathematics or Electrical Engineering plus 5+ years industry experience in one or more of the following areas

• Cryptographic primitives, cryptographic protocols and their implementation
• Design of HW/SW security blocks such as HW cryptographic engines
• HW/SW threat analysis, security analysis or/and risk analysis
• Smart Card and secure HW technologies
• Security certifications: process and requirements.

Additional skills in the following areas are a plus:

• Academic and industry research (publications, conferences)
• Leadership & management background
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills are required
