Tech Stack

About the role

  • Design and implement the end-to-end boot chain (from UEFI/Secure Boot to Measured Boot) to ensure the hardware validates every stage of the bootloader and kernel via TPM or Secure Elements.
  • Construct UNIX/Linux golden build images. This includes deep sysctl tuning, authoring custom AppArmor profiles, and stripping the kernel of non-essential drivers to eliminate lateral movement vectors.
  • Engineer the robot’s security, utilizing mTLS for inter-process communication and configuring strictly scoped iptables/UFW policies to isolate sensitive control telemetry from external interfaces.
  • Build a suite of Python tools to automate continuous security posture checks, including CIS Benchmark audits, automated certificate rotation, and real-time integrity monitoring via auditd.
  • Proactively identify and patch CVEs in the Linux ecosystem, using Python for automated fuzz testing of networking protocols and system interfaces.

Requirements

  • Expert-level experience in Linux/UNIX administration and security hardening.
  • Proven history of creating production-ready "Golden Images" compliant with STIG or CIS Benchmarks.
  • Hands-on experience with TPM 2.0, Secure Elements (SE), and hardware-backed key storage.
  • High proficiency in C/C++ for low-level system interactions and Python for building complex security automation and audit frameworks.
  • Deep knowledge of defensive networking, including VPN overlays, SSH hardening, and encrypted transport protocols (TLS/mTLS) for real-time systems.
  • Ability to conduct comprehensive threat modeling for robotic platforms, specifically identifying risks in the boot process and network-exposed interfaces.
Benefits
  • We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
