Secure Bootloader Engineer

Design, develop, and maintain secure bootloaders. Implement and validate secure boot, secure flashing, firmware authentication, and memory layout management. Work closely with hardware security modules (HSM), PKI, and cryptographic mechanisms to ensure secure device startup and OTA updates. Handle coexistence scenarios (WLAN, BLE) and their interaction with the bootloader. Perform debugging, log analysis, and root-cause analysis of low-level boot and startup issues. Ensure compliance with MISRA C, perform errata analysis, and contribute to code quality and security standards. Collaborate with QA and validation teams to execute and automate bootloader test cases (e.g., UDS-based secure flashing validation). Integrate diagnostic services (DIDs) and support secure communication protocols in the bootloader environment. Participate in system-level testing, including secure OTA mechanisms, rollback protection, and firmware versioning. Maintain traceability via tools like IBM DOORS and manage configuration via SVN / Git. Support certification, documentation, and security audit processes.
