Senior System Software Engineer, Display Security

Job Title

Senior System Software Engineer, Display Security

Role Summary

Lead design and delivery of Display Security features (HDCP) across SoC-based products. Ownership spans secure-engine firmware on RISC-V, protocol implementation, certification, and cross-platform software integration (Linux, Android).

Serve as the security lead for the team: perform threat modeling, vulnerability tracking and remediation, and coordinate with hardware, boot firmware, power management, validation, and GPU display teams.

Experience Level

Senior - 8+ years of experience in embedded systems, firmware, or system software development.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Lead HDCP activities across SoC projects: roadmap, protocol implementation, compliance certification, and on-time delivery.
• Develop and maintain secure-engine firmware on a RISC-V based secure processor.
• Deliver end-to-end HDCP solutions across multiple software stacks (Linux, Android for automotive and consumer platforms).
• Implement firmware production signing, rollback-prevention strategies, and key-provisioning workflows.
• Perform threat modeling, static analysis, vulnerability tracking and remediation, and ensure security compliance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (HW design, boot firmware, power management, validation, GPU/display) to align architecture and delivery.

Requirements

Must-have:

• 8+ years in embedded systems, firmware, or system software development.
• Strong RISC-V or embedded-processor firmware development experience, including privilege-level isolation and secure boot.
• Deep understanding of cryptography and security protocols, specifically HDCP 1.x/2.x authentication, key management, and repeater topology.
• Familiarity with how HDCP integrates with display protocols (HDMI, DisplayPort).
• Proven track record leading cross-team technical initiatives from architecture through certification and delivery.

Nice-to-have:

• Hands-on experience with HDCP compliance certification.
• Experience with SoC-level system integration: firewalls, fuse controllers, privilege isolation, secure carve-outs.
• Experience productizing DRM protocols (Widevine, PlayReady).
• Familiarity with automotive security standards (ISO 21434, UN R155).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
