Sr Staff Engineer, Security and Functional Safety Validation, Automotive SoCs at RenesasElectronics

You will be responsible for end‑to‑end validation of Security and Functional Safety (FuSa) features for Renesas R‑Car automotive SoCs. The role focuses on validating secure boot, cryptographic services, safety mechanisms, and system‑level robustness across Linux, QNX, Android and RTOS environments on heterogeneous multi‑core SoCs. You will work closely with BSP, firmware, hardware, and safety/security architecture teams to ensure production‑ready, audit‑compliant platforms for next‑generation IVI, ADAS, and fusion products. •  Relevant working experience • Strong system‑level understanding of secure boot and firmware architecture, QM vs safety domain partitioning, and multi‑core heterogeneous SoC behaviour • Hands‑on experience in Security and Functional Safety (FuSa) validation for automotive SoCs • Strong understanding of secure boot, cryptography, and ISO 26262 safety concepts • Validation of X5H secure boot chain (BootROM → IPL → TF‑A → OP‑TEE → OS) Validation of RSIP‑M / RSIP‑E (HSM) including key provisioning, lifecycle states, and hardware crypto • Validation of OP‑TEE and Trusted Applications, including secure storage (RPMB on UFS/eMMC) • Execution of negative, robustness, and tamper testing (authentication failures, corrupted images) • Validation of secure firmware loading across A‑core, R‑core, SCP, and Safety Island • Validation of ISO 26262 safety mechanisms targeting ASIL‑B / ASIL‑D Validation of startup tests (LBIST, memory tests, watchdogs), ECC, and E2E protection • Safety Island boot and runtime validation • Fault injection and failure‑mode testing with analysis of fault detection and reaction paths • System‑level validation on Linux (Yocto BSP), QNX Hypervisor, and RTOS / SafeRTOS / FreeRTOS • System integration validation across heterogeneous multi‑core SoCs, ensuring correct partitioning between QM and safety domains • Debugging and analysis of boot failures, safety events, and security violations using logs and low‑level traces • Development and execution of system‑level validation plans, test cases, automation, and reports • Contribution to security and safety validation evidence for internal reviews and customer audits • Hands‑on experience with Git/Gerrit, Yocto build systems, JTAG and system‑level debugging tools, and security and functional safety validation tooling such as fault injection and negative testing
