Maintain a safe, clean, and organized lab environment, including developing and following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), supporting environmental health and safety compliance, and identifying opportunities to improve lab efficiency.
Collaborate with security engineers, Technical Program Managers (TPMs), and cross-functional partners in software, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality to ensure the hardware security team is engaged throughout the product development process.
Support program coordination by tracking active security work, maintaining task tickets, and organizing documentation packages for security reviews.
A day in the life
Your morning might begin with preparing a batch of device samples for teardown and data acquisition - setting up the X-ray machine or microscope, verifying sample chain of custody, and working with security engineers to plan for the day. After a focused stretch at the bench capturing component-level data and photographs, you shift gears to update the device tracker and coordinate with a TPM on incoming samples for an upcoming milestone. You'll regularly participate in team stand-ups where you share status on open tasks and flag any blockers.
