Job description

Sr. Embedded Developer - Key Lifecycle

The Onboard Platforms team is an embedded software team responsible for the development and maintenance of the OS, software, and firmware for the compute platform powering our L1/L2/L3 autonomous vehicle compute clusters. Part of our mandate is to implement the security architecture for our onboard systems.

What you'll do:

• Implement key management flows for exporting secure sensor and SECOC ECC public keys and wiring those exports into downstream provisioning and manufacturing tools.
• Build and harden key import/export services for SECOC and sensors, including OEM‑specific provisioning interfaces.
• Extend key management application capabilities for REE secure storage plus private key, certificate, and key rotation with audit‑ready telemetry.
• Integrate with embedded and POSIX runtimes plus vehicle diagnostics hooks so that key rotations stay synchronized across Linux and embedded boundaries while supporting UDS diagnostics.
• Collaborate with platform bring‑up teams to verify end‑to‑end rotations on hardware and unblock deployment to fleets.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Strong C++ development background plus Yocto‑based build integration for Linux and MCU targets.
• Working familiarity with Bazel (or the ability to adopt it quickly).
• Proven experience implementing key import/export, certificate parsing/validation, and key rotation at scale.
• Hands‑on knowledge of hardware security modules using vendor libraries and trust anchors.
• Comfort working on automotive SoCs with UDS diagnostics, secure storage services, and multi‑domain certificate flows.
• Ability to write automated tests to validate key management service changes (typically in Python) on target hardware.

Nice to have (optional):

• Exposure to OP‑TEE/libteec workflows or REE?TEE shared‑memory integration (we can train fast learners).
• Experience automating OEM sensor key‑rotation pipelines and camera certificate provisioning in manufacturing.

Estimated Minimum Rate: $70.00

Estimated Maximum Rate: $90.00
