Product Security Architect/ Automotive Security Solutions Expert jobs at Arm in United Kingdom, Cambridge

As a Security Engineer – Fuzzing Specialist, you will own and evolve our coverage-guided fuzzing program. Your mission is to uncover hard-to-reach security flaws before attackers do, drive fixes to closure, and help product teams to embrace dynamic testing like fuzzing. You’ll scout for new attack surfaces, craft high-performance fuzzing harnesses, and design custom sanitisers that push the state of the art. Success means measurable coverage gains, actionable crash reports, and products that ship with provable resilience.

• Map & prioritise fuzzing surfaces across services, libraries, APIs, and protocols; maintain a living risk-based roadmap.
• Design, build, and extend fuzzing harnesses (libFuzzer, AFL++, Honggfuzz, etc.) that improve code-path exploration and minimise false positives.
• Continuously improve coverage by growing seed corpus, deploying targeted mutation strategies, and integrating new instrumentation techniques.
• Automate crash triage & root-cause analysis; distinguish exploitable vulnerabilities from benign faults and drive CVE-level findings to remediation.
• Develop custom sanitisers to expose classes of bugs traditional fuzzing misses.
• Validate fixes & guard against regressions through differential fuzzing and regression corpora.
• Assess external disclosures (bug bounties, supply-chain advisories) to determine fuzzing detectability and refine harnesses when gaps are found.
• Document, report, and share insights — from coverage metrics to post-mortems to create data-driven security.

• 1+ years in application or product security with a deep focus on coverage-guided fuzzing.
• Hands-on expertise with at least one modern fuzzing framework (e.g., libFuzzer, AFL++, Honggfuzz).
• Proficient in C/C++ plus strong scripting ability in Python for automation.
• Solid understanding of memory-safety vulnerabilities, undefined behaviour, sanitisers, and compiler instrumentation.
• Demonstrated ability to triage crashes using debuggers, profilers, and reverse-engineering tools (gdb/lldb, IDA/Ghidra).
• Excellent written communication for documenting findings and influencing engineering teams.

• Contributions to open-source fuzzing tools, sanitisers, or security research publications.
• Knowledge of distributed fuzzing at scale (GCP/AWS, Kubernetes, or bare-metal clusters).
• Familiarity with kernel, embedded, or firmware fuzzing (e.g., Syzkaller, QEMU-based harnesses).
• Background in reverse engineering, static analysis or symbolic execution.
• Experience integrating fuzzing into CI/CD pipelines and tracking coverage metrics.

• Review firmware and SoC architecture for security risks and threat models.
• Evaluate critical security features like secure boot, rollback protection, memory isolation, and TEE.
• Perform C/C++ security code reviews to spot implementation-level flaws.
• Conduct targeted hands-on tests to validate security concerns when needed.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed security into the development lifecycle.
• Help shape secure firmware architectures for key handling, update flows, and hardware-backed protections.
• Communicate risks and solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Proven experience securing hardware-firmware interfaces or embedded systems.
• Strong hands-on expertise in C/C++ security code reviews.
• Background in secure boot, key provisioning, firmware hardening, and trusted computing.
• Solid understanding of firmware attack surfaces: fault injection, code injection, privilege escalation.
• Familiarity with isolation technologies such as Arm TrustZone, secure monitor, or memory protection.
• Ability to run and interpret quick tests to verify security assumptions.
• Experience with advanced attack surfaces like side-channel or fault attacks.
• Excellent collaboration, communication, and documentation skills.

• Familiarity with hardware design flows (e.g., RTL, UVM/SystemVerilog).
• Exposure to TPMs, Secure Elements, or hardware-backed crypto modules.
• Background in academic research or industry work in embedded security, firmware, or cryptographic implementation.
• Discovering or analysing security vulnerabilities in products, ideally with public CVEs or equivalent internal findings.
• Hands-on experience evaluating or testing products against certification schemes such as SESIP, PSA Certified, or Common Criteria.
