Firmware Security Engineer - AI-Driven Analysis & LLVM

External Only | Blueprint Technologies; Redmond (WA); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 103,000; Full time

Job summary

External Only | Blueprint Technologies is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to help build an advanced platform that automates firmware security analysis using modern compiler technologies, fuzzing frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows.

You will design and implement scalable tooling in C++, Python, and LLVM to analyze firmware at scale, develop compiler passes, and create fuzzing harnesses that maximize code coverage while reducing false positives.

Qualifications

• Seven or more years of professional experience developing systems software with C or C++.
• Five or more years of experience with LLVM, compiler infrastructure, compiler development, or program analysis.
• Three or more years of experience with fuzzing, vulnerability research, or application security.
• Proficiency with Python for automation, tooling, or pipeline development.
• Experience working within Linux development environments.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automated firmware security-analysis pipelines for vulnerability discovery.
• Build low-level tooling with C++, Python, and LLVM to analyze firmware at scale.
• Develop compiler passes and transformations that convert firmware into analyzable LLVM IR.
• Create, improve, and maintain fuzzing harnesses that maximize code coverage and uncover security vulnerabilities.
• Investigate crashes identified during fuzzing campaigns and perform root-cause analysis.
• Improve vulnerability-detection accuracy by reducing false positives and strengthening automated analysis workflows.
• Develop and enhance AI-assisted systems that classify firmware functionality and generate security-analysis artifacts.
• Debug firmware-rehosting environments and resolve issues affecting automated analysis.
• Collaborate with compiler engineers, software engineers, and security researchers to review architectures and validate security findings.
• Design scalable automation, testing, and CI workflows that improve development efficiency and platform reliability.
• Improve code quality through testing, documentation, dependency management, and engineering best practices.
