Role
Who you are
- Expertise in C programming with a specialization in developing multi-threaded applications for Embedded Linux or QNX, RTOS for multiple ARM cores
- Experience in low-level software development such as bootloader, kernel, and device drivers
- Experience with hands-on debugging in a lab with equipment such as Oscilloscope, DMM, etc
- Experience with bringing up new hardware
- Familiarity with working on custom hardware and/or silicon. Proficiency in debugging FPGA/ASIC hardware
- Capability in scripting languages like Python and Bash
Desirable
- Experience with hardware-based security techniques like Hardware Security Modules, Secure Boot, Secure Flashing, Trust Execution Environment, etc
- Experience with Ethernet security protocols such as MACSec, IPSec, and TLS
- Good knowledge of cryptography fundamentals and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
- Experience with Cryptographic Application APIs like PKCS#11, Op-TEE, and OpenSSL
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Security Engineer with an emphasis on Embedded Software Security
- Design, review, and implement embedded software in C Programming Language for the Aeva 4D LiDAR Sensor
- Interacting with cross-functional teams, such as the validation and product to design and implement security functions, identify potential vulnerabilities, and develop threat modeling
- Design and develop firmware for the Hardware Security Module (HSM)
Our take
The development of self-driving cars presents enormous opportunities for transportation, shipping, and ride-hailing industries, but getting these cars to run flawlessly is difficult. Cameras and radar sensors are used to detect obstacles for safe automated driving, but existing technology does not analyze enough data to meet these expectations.
Aeva builds sensory perception technology that maps the physical world around a vehicle on a granular basis to contribute towards the development of fully self-driving cars. The sensory system relies on what the company describes as being the world’s first 4D LiDAR-on-Chip. This technology comprises of sensors that detect objects and events up to 300m away, recognize velocity-per-pixel, and are immune to interference from neighboring frequencies.
Companies such as Tesla are already developing successful and safe fully self-driving software for their cars, but Aeva's approach to LiDar presents some serious competition to the existing camera-based technology. Despite further competition from Luminar and Velodyne, Aeva remains unique due to the condensed presentation of their technology into a tiny chip.
