Sandisk
Overview
The Flash Security Platform team is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the security firmware engineering function. You will mentor a team in evaluating, building, and testing firmware for security solutions on SSD memory controllers. You will collaborate with engineers across architecture, firmware, hardware, product, memory design, and production to resolve multi-functional product development challenges and help shape the future of secure storage solutions. Essential Duties And Responsibilities
Lead a team of firmware engineers responsible for the development and design process of security technology. Take full responsibility for the entire process, encompassing planning, design, development, validation, and communication with senior management. Collaborate closely with security architects to define, implement, and integrate security features and protocols, ensuring optimal partitioning between hardware and software. Establish efficient workflows that facilitate rapid feature development while maintaining high quality and stability. This involves managing release cycles, implementing continuous integration, and conducting regression testing. Provide assistance for pre-silicon validation activities, such as simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototyping. Support post-silicon validation, performance characterization, system integration, and debugging efforts. Assist in establishing test and calibration capabilities for storage controllers in ATE, module, and product factories. Contribute to the Security Development Lifecycle of the firmware by supporting its development at various stages, including design, threat analysis, implementation, validation, vulnerability testing, certification, and audit. Qualifications
REQUIRED:
Degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field. 10+ years of experience in engineering management, including leadership roles overseeing firmware teams with a track record in high-volume production. Comprehensive understanding of embedded software fundamentals, including design and development processes, real-time constraints, concurrency, multi-processor systems, caching, and virtual memory. Proficiency in HW/SW architecture and design partitioning, with expertise in requirements analysis, memory, and performance estimation. Hands-on experience with build infrastructure, automation, and CI/CD testing frameworks. Proven expertise in configuration and release management, continuous integration, and regression testing. Knowledge of maintainable, scalable design strategies and code reuse. Experience leading large and complex projects, including feature planning, prioritization, status tracking, and issue triage and reporting. Strong organizational and communication skills for collaboration with cross-functional teams. What Sets You Apart
Technical expertise in applied cryptography and firmware/hardware security, including data encryption, trusted execution environment, secure boot, and device attestation. Knowledge of storage controller architectures and security protocols (e.g., TCG Opal/Ruby/Pyrite, IEEE 1667, SPDM, IDE). Knowledge of RISC-V Instruction Set Architectures (ISA).
