Embedded Security Firmware Engineer for WLAN Team

California, Sanjose, 95101 Sanjose USA

Vacancy expired!

Summary:Our Wi-Fi firmware and software team is looking for a very smart, innovative and knowledgeable software engineer with experience in security, encryption and authentication to join our team. This engineer will develop networking protocols and features, architectural updates, and software tools, with an emphasis on cryptographic and authentication technologies.The primary programming language experience is C/C and the secondary is Python. Additional important knowledge includes TCP/IP network protocol stacks, computer security, and public key cryptography, cryptographic hashing and authentication protocols.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop embedded C firmware features for our 802.11 Wi-Fi mobility portfolio, especially related to security
  • Develop and enhance authentication protocols for infrastructure and peer to peer Wi-Fi protocols, e.g., WPA2, WPA3, PASN, and sub-protocols of these suites.
  • Serve as an expert in Wi-Fi cryptographic algorithms such as AES for product development, customer support and certifications such as NIST CAVP.
  • Implement and enhance hashing and cryptographic algorithms such as SHA-1, SHA-256, Elliptic Curve for security features our Wi-Fi products
  • In case product vulnerability reports are received from internal or external sources, assist with the analysis of the reports, and if appropriate, remediation feature development.
  • Understand the software architecture requirements around modularity, componentization, versioning, C interfaces and build flow so you can implement architectural improvements
  • Develop and enhance security related tools such as those used for generation of keys, validation of keys, etc.
  • Work with the VLSI and software team on requirements, design and implementation of new security-related features

Required Skillset:
