Product Security Intern — Cybersecurity

Job Title

Product Security Intern — Cybersecurity

Role Summary

Join a security-focused engineering team to design and implement a fuzzing framework targeting storage protocols (e.g., NVMe, UFS). The role delivers automated test execution, crash triage, and actionable findings to improve protocol implementation robustness.

Experience Level

Entry-level internship. Suitable for current graduate students (Master's) with practical development experience; no specific professional years-of-experience required.

Responsibilities

Deliver a fuzzing toolchain from design through validation and reporting.

• Analyze protocol specifications and identify high-value fuzzing surfaces (commands, state machines, error paths).
• Design fuzzing architecture: generation/mutation strategies, seed corpus, and state tracking.
• Implement tooling (Python, C, or C++) and integrate with open-source fuzzers or test harnesses as appropriate.
• Build protocol parsers/encoders and a test harness to interact with devices, emulators, simulators, or firmware.
• Automate execution, logging, and crash/failure triage (reproducers, minimization, reporting).
• Analyze results, document findings, and recommend improvements to increase coverage and defect discovery.
• Present design, demos, progress updates, and final outcomes to the team.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and abilities for successful contribution.

• Strong programming ability in at least one of: Python, C, or C++.
• Solid understanding of OS fundamentals (processes, memory, I/O, concurrency) and debugging techniques.
• Familiarity with networking/protocol concepts and binary data formats (serialization, parsing, endianness).
• Ability to read technical specifications and implement testable designs.
• Effective written and spoken English for documentation and presentations.
• Willingness to work on-site and interact with hardware, firmware, and test equipment.

Education Requirements

Currently enrolled in a Master’s degree program in Computer Science Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related technical field is required. The posting references higher-education level when determining internship allowance; equivalent practical experience is not stated as an alternative.
