You will work closely with Marketing, Engineering, RoT Solution Development, Technical Support and Field Applications Engineering teams to drive successful deployment and adoption of Lattice security solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead solution enablement activities for Lattice FPGA-based security and Root-of-Trust solutions, from evaluation and design-in through integration and deployment.
• Serve as a technical lead for complex customer security applications and provide guidance on solution architecture, integration and implementation.
• Define and develop high-quality solution enablement collateral, including user guides, application notes, reference designs, programming examples and technical documentation.
• Lead the development of reference solutions demonstrating key security capabilities and representative customer use cases.
• Drive investigation and resolution of complex customer issues across FPGA logic, embedded firmware, security configuration and system integration.
• Collaborate closely with Marketing, Engineering, RoT Solution Development, Technical Support and Field Applications Engineering teams to translate customer requirements and field experience into actionable product and solution improvements.
• Provide technical feedback and influence requirements for future security features, devices and enablement solutions based on customer use cases.
• Develop and deliver technical training, workshops and knowledge-transfer sessions for Technical Support, Field Applications Engineers and customers.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers on FPGA security applications, solution enablement and troubleshooting methodologies.
