We are working on software, firmware and hardware to evolve the RISC-V ecosystem and build secure-by-design RISC-V based systems.
The security team has the charter to define external and internal interfaces for secure provisioning and trusted computing base (TCB) updates of our SOC and platforms. As part of our work on foundational security and to enable Trusted Execution Environments for RISC-V based platforms, we are building the security infrastructure services necessary to support secure device provisioning and lifecycle management for the SOC-Integrated Root of Trust (RoT), and manage the trusted elements of the platform.
Positions are open for full-time roles at multiple levels in this area, including, for a technical lead capable of designing the overall set of services and developing and deploying the first prototypes, as well as developers and operators who have experience in this area. The team is expected to grow over time to increase development and operational capacity in a scalable manner.
We are big proponents of open source software and open hardware and contribute back improvements to all the great projects we use.
