Microchip Technology FPGA Business Unit is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Security Architect to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance IP integrations into our FPGA products, that meet market & customer requirements across a broad range of use cases & application spaces. This position is in the Silicon Architecture team of Microchip's FPGA Business Unit. Microchip is a major supplier of low-power, highly-reliable and highly-secure field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Our FPGAs are used in a wide variety of use cases & applications, including embedded vision; digital signal processing; machine learning; industrial and medical equipment; satellites; and diverse defense applications. Microchip is also a pioneer in embedding RISC-V processors in FPGAs. The successful applicant will work as part of a core team to develop future FPGA device products and will collaborate with other engineering disciplines to model, develop, verify, and integrate security components such as hard IP blocks (esp. cryptographic accelerators), hard & soft IP solutions, that interoperate with overall device and system configuration and security features to deliver secure and performant FPGA products.

  • Understand customer use cases and the role of Security in overall system architecture
  • Lead cross-functional teams to analyze customer use cases & architect solutions to deliver high-performance security IP integrations into Microchip FPGA products
  • Create product security architecture specification that meets the security goals
  • Create procurement requirements for security IP vendors
  • Evaluate vendor IP and make recommendations for make vs. buy
  • Define silicon validation/certification plans for security features and work with internal teams & external labs to execute
  • Work on ASIC & FPGA IP development, integration, and deployment for Security components including the FPGA's root-of-trust microcontroller and cryptographic accelerators
  • Work closely with FW architects to define HW/FW boundaries of security implementations
  • Work with firmware & hardware design teams to ensure security goals are being met
  • Drive the development of associated (non-FPGA) products such as HSM-based provisioning systems and the Microchip public-key infrastructure (PKI)
  • Work cross-functionally with other architects, designers, and back-end implementation teams
