CPU/Cores Post‑Silicon Validation (Security)
BangaloreFull-timePosted 3w ago
About the role
Engineer to drive post-silicon validation of CPU security features across next-generation x86 processor products, collaborating with Architecture, Design, Firmware, Security, and Product Engineering to ensure robust security implementations from first silicon through production readiness.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute post-silicon validation plans for CPU security features.
- Validate architectural security capabilities including: Secure Virtual Machine (SVM), SEV / SEV-ES / SEV-SNP, Memory encryption technologies, Secure Boot, Trusted execution and attestation mechanisms, Speculation and side-channel mitigation features, Virtualization security extensions.
- Design directed and stress workloads to verify security functionality, robustness, and corner-case behavior.
- Perform silicon bring-up and feature enablement on pre-production platforms.
- Debug failures spanning: CPU cores and microarchitecture, Microcode (uCode), BIOS/Firmware, Security processors and firmware.
- Analyze logs, machine check data, MSRs, traces, and hardware debug information to isolate root causes.
- Collaborate with Design, Architecture, Security, and Firmware teams to drive issue resolution.
- Develop automation infrastructure to improve validation efficiency, coverage, and regression execution.
- Track validation coverage, defect metrics, and readiness criteria for product milestones.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- Strong understanding of computer architecture and x86 processors.
- Good knowledge of operating systems internals and virtualization technologies.
- Familiarity with processor security concepts such as: Encryption, Authentication, Secure boot flows, Trust chains, Isolation mechanisms, Virtualization security.
- Experience with silicon validation, system validation, or hardware validation.
- Strong debug and root-cause analysis skills.
- Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or scripting languages for automation.
- Experience working in Linux and Windows environments.
