Rambus, a premier chip and silicon IP provider, is seeking to hire an exceptional PE Security Engineering to join our Silicon IP team in San Francisco, CA or San Jose, CA. Candidates will be joining some of the brightest inventors and engineers in the world to develop products that make data faster and safer. This senior engineer will coordinate our secure software development processes, analyze our current products for security vulnerabilities and compliance with relevant standards, participate in product certification activities, and play a key role in the security design for all of the products we develop in the future.

The successful candidate will demonstrate skills and interest in the theory & practice of secure development, testing, and validation and use those skills to influence our development practices across the business unit. To be successful this person will need to be comfortable accepting responsibility and working with a large team and across multiple disciplines and with teams in several Rambus development sites. A 'can-do' attitude is required for this role along with determination to continually improve our solutions. Your responsibilities will include oversight of our secure software QA process, development of threat models, development of countermeasures, ensure our products are in line with the latest security standards and processes, including certification standards, and identification of the best automated solutions for code analysis and testing.
