About the Role
As a Software Engineer specializing in Device Security , you will contribute to building secure, privacy-focused technologies for HP IQ's next generation of AI-enabled devices. You’ll work alongside experienced security, firmware, operating system, hardware, and cloud engineers to help protect customer data and strengthen the security of our products.
In this role, you’ll develop and implement security features across embedded systems, PCs, and server-class workstations. You’ll gain hands-on experience with areas such as secure boot, cryptography, device identity, secure communication, and data protection while contributing to products throughout the development lifecycle.
This is an opportunity for an engineer who has a strong foundation in software development and an interest in device security to deepen their technical expertise while working on complex, real-world security challenges.
What You Might Do
Develop and implement security features for embedded and connected devices, including secure boot, key management, encryption, device identity, and data protection.
Contribute to the design and implementation of secure software components using established security architectures and industry best practices.
Collaborate with engineers across CoreOS, Firmware, Design, Hardware, and Cloud Services to integrate security capabilities into HP IQ products.
Develop and maintain software in C, C++, Java, or related languages across embedded, AOSP, Linux, or Windows environments.
Contribute to TrustZone, TEE, kernel-level, or other hardware-backed security applications with guidance from experienced engineers.
Help implement secure communication channels between devices and services while protecting sensitive and personal data.
Work with biometric sensors and other hardware components to support secure data flows across device boundaries.
Participate in threat modeling, security reviews, vulnerability analysis, testing, and remediation activities.
Apply secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices throughout the development process.
Investigate security issues, troubleshoot software and system-level problems, and contribute to solutions that improve product security and reliability.
Essential Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
