Summary

Sr. Staff Firmware Engineer - Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR)

    • San Jose, CA, USA
    • Atlanta, GA, USA
    • Hybrid

 

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Own PFR architecture and implementation for multiple product lines. 

  • Design and develop secure firmware modules that implement protections for BIOS, FPGA, BMC, and other critical platform firmware. 

  • Integrate and validate hardware root-of-trust solutions (e.g., Intel PFR, TPM, cryptographic accelerators). 

  • Implement firmware recovery mechanisms to restore integrity after detection of corruption or compromise. 

  • Perform threat modeling and risk assessments specific to firmware-level attacks. 

  • Develop test strategies for validating PFR capabilities, including attack simulation and penetration testing. 

  • Ensure compliance with NIST SP 800-193 and relevant platform security guidelines. 

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, BIOS, security, cloud) to ensure seamless integration of PFR features. 

  • Mentor engineers in firmware security principles, secure coding practices, and resiliency design patterns. 

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. 

  • 20+ years of experience in embedded software development, with a strong background in C/C++. 

  • Strong understanding of Platform Firmware Resiliency concepts and NIST SP 800-193 requirements. 

  • Experience with secure boot, measured boot, and cryptographic verification of firmware. 

  • Familiarity with UEFI/BIOS architecture, BMC firmware, and FPGA firmware update flows. 

  • Hands-on experience with hardware root-of-trust solutions (e.g., Intel PFR, TPM 2.0). 

  • Strong debugging skills, including use of JTAG, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers. 

  • Experience with Intel Server Platform Services (SPS) or similar management engines is a plus.  

  • Familiarity with secure firmware update protocols (e.g., capsule updates, signed images). 

  • Knowledge of supply chain security for firmware components.
