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

We are seeking an experienced Sr. Staff Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) standard to lead the design, development, and optimization of secure firmware solutions that meet the required compliance standards. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with TPM, Firmware Signing, Attestation, and Root of Trust, and will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust security solutions to protect hardware, firmware, and software integrity. 

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.
