• Embedded and hardware systems security, Real‐time systems security, Industrial Control Systems (ICS)/SCADA
• Advanced and applied cryptography, security protocols, such as Multi‐Party Computation
• Moving target defense techniques: Dynamic Runtime Environment, Networks, Platforms, Software, and Data
• Embedded systems, processor, and microelectronics design lifecycle, fab, and verification (FPGA and/or ASIC)
• Communication protocols at chip, board, and system levels. Co‐design and integration of software and hardware, IP cores, sensors, system‐on‐chip design and verification.

Requirements

• PhD degree in Computer Security, System Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
  • In lieu of PhD, a Master’s degree with 5 or more years of relevant experience will be considered.
• Deep knowledge and extensive experience in one or more of the following:

• Architecture, analysis, design, implementation, and measurement of secure sub‐systems and systems.
• Academic or professional research experience and/or publications in the areas of computer security, resiliency, and/or cryptography.
• Analysis, modeling, design, development, testing, and verification of embedded and/or hardware systems.
• Design, analysis, verification, and implementation of cryptographic algorithms and protocols.
• Knowledge of computer security / cryptography related government and industry standards.

• The passion to convert vision into reality, excellent work ethic, and effective communication skills are essential.

Desired Knowledge

• Threat modeling and security requirements analysis.
• System engineering. Computer and software security. Familiarity with or interest in secure programming. Multi‐core/multi‐thread computing.
• Cloud computing technologies, virtualization, cloud security, Web services, advanced database technologies, and automation techniques.
