• Develop device attestation capabilities using TPM-backed identity and measured-boot evidence, including collection and validation of platform measurements.
• Implement and harden TLS and mutual TLS for control, telemetry, and management planes, including certificate issuance, rotation, revocation, and trust-bundle updates.
• Build security tests and automation; investigate defects; and support internal and external security reviews.

• Understanding of network-device security and management protocols, such as gRPC, gNMI, or gNSI.
• Experience designing or integrating secure provisioning, enrollment, credential management, or certificate lifecycle workflows.
• Strong debugging skills and the ability to work across software and platform boundaries.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document designs and explain security decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience implementing or operating gNSI services such as authz, pathz, credentialz, or certz.
• Experience with secure zero-touch provisioning, device attestation, TPM 2.0, measured boot, or hardware-backed device identity.
• Knowledge of secure boot chains, hardware roots of trust, or manufacturing security.
• Experience in telecom, networking, optical systems, or other embedded infrastructure.
• Familiarity with security testing, automation, and vulnerability review processes.
