Platform Engineer Security (Platform Architecture)

At Apple we strive to do our lifes best work by building a seamless ecosystem across tightly integrated hardware software and services. The Platform Architecture group is at the forefront of defining designing and connecting this ecosystem. PA-Security group is a team of engineers who are dedicated to securing the worlds most advanced consumer devices that are trusted for protecting individual privacy and storing personal data while providing the highest quality user experience. Were looking for hardworking and inspired individuals to help raise the bar on the security of Apples growing product line up while continuing to ensure a quality user this role you will identify and define platform level security requirements for new products define and maintain device-level security policies across multiple environments for existing products and drive adoption of platform level security architectures incorporating hardware software and server elements through our cross-function partners. Together with the rest of the Platform Architecture team your work will ensure millions of customers all around the world can confidently trust the devices they use every single day.

As a member of Platform Architecture you will lead cross-functional teams throughout the product development cycle. Further as part of this high-visibility team you will frequently collaborate with other security architects and researchers across Apple including software hardware silicon server and product groups to identify define and design security solutions that elevate overall security profile of our SOCs devices and factories.

Develop threat models and associated security architectures for exciting new Apple products and technologies derive system security requirements and design balanced and novel mitigations in creative collaboration with iconic product and engineering detailed system-level specifications to guide product development integration and quality assurance teams to aid integration of our security technologies across team boundaries (e.g. client/ server).nUse interpersonal and technical skills to champion adoption of our industry leading security technologies across multiple product emerging threats new attacks and mitigation techniques as the external landscape evolves and drive architecture evolution to stay ahead of industry.

BS degree or relevant industry working with basic cryptographic principles. (e.g. symmetric vs asymmetric crypto encryption vs authentication post-quantum algorithms or public key infrastructure implementations)nExperience with platform security primitives. (e.g. Secure Boot Secure Update Secure Communication across entities Secure lifecycle management etc.)nExperience in threat modeling of security features and architecture. (preferably spanning across software hardware and system designsnExperience in leading cross-functional initiatives to define drive and productize security features.

Minimum of 10 years relevant industry in threat modeling of security features and architecture specifically spanning across software hardware and system in effectively communicating highly technical details to a non-technical with user identification and authentication technologies such as biometrics smart cards with Operating System concepts such as isolation privilege levels etc. and platform security concepts such as virtualization and confidential with defining / evaluation of platform security features spanning across client/server and deployed across infrastructure in factories or organization or experience with programming and/or auditing experience with Python C and unix shell scripting and with utilizing AI to facilitate research design and evaluation activities.
