Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Design and develop security firmware functionality for Micron SSDs, ensuring robust detection, prevention, and response to cyberattacks. Architect and implement cryptography-based security features, including but not limited to: Data encryption, Protection of device assets, Secure Boot, Device Attestation, Root of Trust, Firmware Encryption, and Self-Encrypting Devices (SED). Drive transition to post-quantum cryptography algorithms for Micron products to ensure they meet emerging security standards. Integrate and support industry-defined security protocols and customer-specific features as outlined by OCP, TCG, DMTF, NVMe, PCIe and other relevant specifications. Contribute across all stages of the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL): Architecture and design, Threat modeling and analysis, Implementation, Validation and vulnerability testing, FIPS Certification and security audit readiness. Develop, debug, optimize, and validate firmware and ROM on SoC and simulation platforms, including FPGA/ASIC/Zebu bring-up and system-level integration. Create and maintain simulation environments for unit and fuzz testing of SSD security components. Investigate and resolve security protocol compatibility issues across platforms and customer environments using protocol and bus analyzers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive integration of security features into SSD data and control flows.
