• Experience developing or debugging software in embedded, Linux, AOSP, Windows, or similar environments.
• Understanding of software development fundamentals, including debugging, testing, code reviews, source control, and software development lifecycle practices.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and cross-functional partners to solve technical problems.
• Strong interest in developing deeper expertise in device security, cryptography, privacy, and secure systems.

Preferred Skills

• Experience or coursework involving embedded systems, consumer electronics, IoT, operating systems, firmware, or device security.
• Familiarity with AOSP or Linux security technologies such as TrustZone, TEE, Android Verified Boot (AVB), Keystore, or SELinux.
• Familiarity with common cryptographic concepts, authentication mechanisms, certificates, or PKI.
• Exposure to hardware-backed security, secure elements, TPMs, biometric systems, or trusted execution environments.
• Experience with security testing, vulnerability analysis, threat modeling, or secure coding practices.
• Familiarity with privacy and security frameworks or standards such as GDPR, CCPA, or ISO.
• Curiosity and a desire to continue developing expertise in security, privacy, embedded
