About Majestic-Labs

Majestic-Labs is a leader in accelerated computing, driving innovation across industries with groundbreaking technologies in AI, graphics, and high-performance computing.

What You'll Be Doing (Execution & Delivery)

  • Architect & Implement: Research, design, and deliver hardware-and-software security architectures for our next-generation AI Inference Systems, ensuring alignment with global security standards.
  • Root of Trust & Boot: Own the microarchitectural definition, validation, and rollout of the SoC Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) and secure boot processes.
  • Confidential Computing & Isolation: Apply advanced hardware primitives to implement secure software compartmentalization, isolating critical AI assets and model IPs from multi-tenant threats.
  • Secure Software Embedding: Collaborate directly with software and research teams to embed secure firmware, model-protection mechanisms, and open-source security frameworks into the silicon platform.
  • Threat Modeling: Build and execute data-driven threat models to identify, validate, and mitigate hardware and low-level firmware vulnerabilities.
  • Cross-Functional Ownership: Lead security feature implementation from conceptual modeling and emulation through to customer deployment and threat resolution.

Requirements:

What We Need To See (Core Skillset)

  • Education: BSc, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience: 10+ years of proven track record in hardware security architecture, silicon design, or embedded security engineering.
  • Secure System Building: Deep, practical understanding of "Security-by-Design" principles, privilege isolation, and Confidential Computing concepts.
  • Firmware & Low-Level Dev: Strong programming and debugging fundamentals in C/C++, Python, and assembly (e.g., ARM) with hands-on experience in low-level firmware and embedded systems.
  • Execution & Teamwork: A proven track record of leading complex technical features across diverse, cross-functional teams, backed by excellent communication skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

  • Direct experience with Linux security primitives, secure hypervisors, or microkernel architectures.
  • Background in high-performance networking security (RDMA, TCP/IP, TLS/IPSec)
  • Experience mitigating AI-specific hardware threats (e.g., side-channel analysis, fault injection).
