SSD Security Architect at Solidigm

As an SSD Security Architect, you will play a central role in defining, evolving, and delivering end‑to‑end security architectures for next‑generation data center SSD products. These technologies will be largely centered around industry standards, such as NIST SP 800 series specifications that apply to storage devices, DMTF SPDM, TCG and others. Your areas of ownership will include: (1) defining architectural specifications that capture hardware and firmware requirements for new security features, (2) Partnering with planning organizations to influence product security roadmaps (3) Monitoring and (when necessary) influencing industry specifications, (4) Providing architectural support for security features in development and (5) Collaborating with other Security, hardware and software teams to ensure new security features progress through the product development lifecycle.  This is a highly visible role which will require strong communication skills, presenting to senior leaders throughout the organization, and synthesizing inputs from a variety of stakeholders to derive implementable security architectures. Key Responsibilities • Define and own security architecture definition for future SSD products, spanning hardware, firmware, and infrastructure, ensuring alignment with industry standards and customer requirements. • Lead and participate in threat modeling, risk assessments, and security design reviews throughout the product development lifecycle. • Guide implementation teams to ensure cryptographic solutions and security mechanisms are correctly and consistently realized across platforms. • Evaluate current and emerging cryptographic technologies and assess applicability to future products. • Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders (security, hardware, firmware, validation, product planning) to integrate security into overall system designs. • Influence and help define the product security roadmap, balancing technical feasibility, standards evolution, and business priorities. • Monitor, contribute to, and when appropriate influence industry standards and specifications (e.g., NIST, TCG, DMTF). • Represent the organization in external technical forums, standards bodies, and working groups. • Provide technical mentorship and architectural leadership, helping build a strong culture of security excellence.
