Security Verification Engineer
Arm’s hardware powers the AI, computing, and connectivity revolution. Join us as a Security Verification Engineer in the CPU Cambridge team to help set the highest standards of security and reliability for our CPU IP products.
Job Overview
Collaborate with engineers worldwide to define and execute security verification strategies across the product lifecycle. You’ll work on next‑generation CPU IP, ensuring that security and reliability are built into the core of Arm’s technology.
Responsibilities
* Collaborate with security architects, leads, and verification engineers to identify and analyze potential vulnerabilities in Arm’s CPU IP.
* Plan and implement security verification activities across the product lifecycle, using techniques such as static and dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and side‑channel testing.
* Design targeted tests based on threat models, design reviews, and risk assessments.
* Apply advanced verification methods—including tainted‑data tracking and symbolic execution—to uncover data‑flow and integrity issues.
* Use industry‑leading tools for formal analysis, vulnerability discovery, penetration testing, and automated verification.
* Develop and maintain reusable verification infrastructure at both IP and system levels.
* Work with product managers and project/security leads to align on security goals, project milestones, and deliverables.

* Background in hardware/software development and verification (System‑Verilog, UVM, C/C++, Python).
* Hands‑on experience with security verification methods such as fuzzing, static analysis, formal verification, or symbolic execution.
* Experience in threat modelling, vulnerability analysis, and secure architecture reviews.
* Understanding of data‑flow analysis, tainted‑data tracking, or side‑channel mitigation techniques.
* Strong communication, technical writing, and collaboration skills.
Nice To Have Skills and Experience
* Experience with Secure Boot, hardware roots of trust, cryptographic primitives, and secure communication protocols.
* Knowledge of secure development lifecycle (SDL) processes and tooling.
* Contribution to open‑source security tools or frameworks.
* Familiarity with security standards and frameworks, particularly ISO/SAE 21434, NIST SP 800‑53, or ISO 27001.
