Recruitment Lead at Codasip/RISC-V processor IPs/Processor design/CPU Design and Verification

Please, note this role is primarily open to candidates currently located in, and with working rights to Germany (preferably Munich, Berlin or Dresden).

Welcome to Codasip

We believe Codasip is the most innovative processor solutions company. We take pride in designing and developing cutting-edge, high-performance, and energy-efficient CPU cores from scratch, and our own automated proprietary tools to fully customize them. We give our customers a unique competitive advantage by empowering their system-on-chip developers to build the most innovative products.

What you'll do

As an experienced Security Architect, you will join our Security team, within our Labs organization, where we work on cutting-edge technologies and prepare them for rapid commercialization.

You will focus on architectural and microarchitectural vulnerability analysis of RISC-V processors and subsystems; design, modelling, and prototyping of new security architectures and concepts; working with industry partners and academia to evaluate, steer, and mature new industrially promising security technologies; providing expert security knowledge within Codasip and to external customers; and helping to write technical grant proposals.

You will work closely with our CPU architects, verification teams and CPU designers to understand the low-level hardware design and suggest practical countermeasures where appropriate.

The role demands attention to detail, flexibility and lateral thinking. You will be working on both short-term customer-driven projects, as well as longer-term strategic Codasip software products.

You will

Do vulnerability analysis of processor designs and SoC-level subsystems at the architectural and microarchitectural levels against specified threat models
Write threat models based on input from Product Management and design corresponding reference security architectures at the core and SoC level
Lead architectural design, development, and analysis of security solutions using virtual platforms and/or FPGA-based platforms
Provide expert knowledge to CPU architects and other internal IP design teams
Liaise with academic and industrial partners
Research and contribute to the proving and adoption of new security technologies, analysis techniques and tools
Support grant bids by providing technical knowledge and ideas
Keep up to date with the latest attacks and countermeasures

You have

Strong recent and relevant experience, and long track record in semiconductor security architecture at the core and/or SoC-level
In-depth knowledge of attacks against SoCs and processors and the corresponding practical countermeasures (hardware/software and invasive/non-invasive remote and physical attacks)
Excellent written and oral communication skills, including experience of writing security specifications and requirements
Experience with leading technical research and implementation projects
A flexible and adaptable attitude to work
A desire to learn and also positively influence the technical direction

You might also have

Knowledge of security standards such as ISO 21434 and working to a defined security process
Experience with working with software virtual platforms and FPGA platforms
Previous experience working with academia
Cryptographic engineering knowledge
Experience with RISC-V processors

What's in it for you?

Join a flexible, open and supportive team full of curious, self-motivated and driven engineers who are keen to explore new ways of doing things, you'll get to work on ultra-modern, cutting-edge products and technology.

As a Codasipper, you will have the freedom to explore original solutions and experiment with new techniques in your role. We believe in cross-departmental awareness and encourage collaboration, allowing you to add value through diversity in your daily work.
