Job summary

Luxoft is seeking a senior engineering leader to own the hardware threat-detection platform architecture, spanning PMU/IBS kernel driver, ML inference pipeline, and partner SDKs. The role involves setting quality gates, guiding cross-functional decisions across silicon, driver, ML and real-time components.

The candidate will mentor engineers, drive KPI-based validation, and represent the platform in external technical forums and partner engagements.

Qualifications

• 12+ years progressive engineering experience with 5+ years in a technical leadership or principal engineering role.
• Deep expertise in CPU microarchitecture & performance monitoring; ML systems & inference pipeline engineering.
• Experience leading multi-disciplinary efforts from inception to production.
• Excellent communication across executive, partner and engineering audiences.
• Experience defining program-level KPIs and quality gates.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture for the full hardware threat-detection platform (PMU/IBS kernel driver, ML inference pipeline, partner SDK, HW attestation).
• Set and enforce technical quality standards: detection-efficacy KPIs, CPU overhead budgets, API backward-compatibility.
• Lead cross-functional architectural decisions across silicon, driver, ML and real-time pipeline.
• Own the partner SDK strategy and the technical relationship with security-software integration partners.
• Lead efficacy validation gates across the malware variant test suite; mentor engineers across lab, ML, and CI/CD; represent the platform in external forums.

Project Description

AMD is building a hardware-assisted security platform that uses silicon-level Performance Monitoring Counters (PMCs) and on-chip machine learning to detect advanced endpoint threats (ransomware, fileless malware, cryptojacking) at the processor layer, below OS-based evasion. The platform collects CPU behavioral telemetry, classifies it via an ML inference engine, and exposes threat signals to security-software partners through a standardized API. The team covers the full stack: silicon telemetry, ML training/validation, real-time inference, lab qualification and CI/CD.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture for the full hardware threat-detection platform (PMU/IBS kernel driver, ML inference pipeline, partner SDK, HW attestation).
• Set and enforce technical quality standards: detection-efficacy KPIs (detection rate, false-positive rate), performance budgets (CPU overhead), API backward-compatibility.
• Lead cross-functional architectural decisions across silicon, driver, ML and real-time pipeline.
• Own the partner SDK strategy and the technical relationship with security-software integration partners.
• Lead efficacy validation gates across the malware variant test suite. Mentor SMTS-level engineers across lab, ML, real-time and CI/CD. Represent the platform in external technical forums and partner engagements.
• Identify and mitigate program-level technical risks.

Mandatory Skills

• 12+ years progressive engineering experience with 5+ years in a technical leadership or principal engineering role.
• Deep expertise in: CPU microarchitecture & performance monitoring; ML systems & inference pipeline engineering; systems software & kernel development; endpoint security platform architecture.
• Experience leading multi-disciplinary efforts inception-to-production.
• Excellent communication across executive, partner and engineering audiences.
• Experience defining program-level KPIs and quality gates.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Hardware-assisted security technology on any major processor architecture.
• Endpoint security research, malware analysis or threat intelligence at enterprise scale.
• AMD silicon or AMD security processor technology.
• Patent portfolio or publications in hardware security or ML for security. Experience managing external security-software partner technical programs (joint engineering, certification, go-to-market).
