Overview

SRI International has an immediate opening, on-site, in our Princeton, NJ campus for a Research Electrical Engineer in Hardware Security. This position will focus on taking a hardware-based view of device security, leveraging a deep understanding of both CMOS physics and system operation to perform novel security research. In this position, you will work with a small, dedicated research team on existing programs, with the long term goal of cultivating your own programs and research directions. Successful candidates will have a strong background in low level device physics as well as an understanding of how these devices integrate and operate at a system level . Our work aims to leverage this deep understanding into inventing new technologies and techniques, developing prototypes, and constructing fieldable systems. Activities will be very hands-on, operating over a variety of projects related to national security.

SRI's Advanced Technology and Systems Division conducts innovative research and development in a wide range of disciplines, from hardware security and mixed-signal integrated circuits to novel nanoscale optoelectronic devices and quantum sensing. Candidates will have the opportunity to work on programs outside of the hardware security focus area and contribute to innovations at all levels of the development process.

Responsibilities

Conduct basic and applied research in CMOS devices, electronic circuits and systems, and hardware security.
