Jr. Security Evaluator - Fault Injection
Core
Conduct fault injection attacks (voltage, electromagnetic, light, body bias) on hardware products like microcontrollers and smart cards to evaluate security vulnerabilities and countermeasures.
Role type
Junior IC security evaluator (hardware fault injection)
Builds
Security evaluation reports and attack methodologies for hardware products
Domain
Hardware security / Cryptography / Embedded systems
Deliverable
physical/clinical work
Required skills
understanding of electronic circuits, knowledge of crypto algorithms (DES, AES, RSA, ECC), lab equipment operation (oscilloscopes, function generators), test script writing (JavaScript), technical report writing
Preferred skills
circuit development experience, fault injection attack experience, analytic mind
Technologies
JavaScript, oscilloscopes, function generators, laser set-ups, voltage manipulation, body bias injection, electro-magnetic fault injection, light manipulation
Responsibilities
Prepare product samples for testing (chip thinning, circuit board preparation), execute fault injection experiments, analyze experimental results to determine fault injection success, write technical reports on security evaluation findings
Seniority
Junior, mentored IC
