Security Researcher, Platform Architecture

Summary
Help Apple secure the world's most advanced consumer devices which people trust to store their personal and professional data. We believe that the best defense is a good offense, and that means finding vulnerabilities before the community does. We're looking for dedicated and inspired individuals to join our team and attack Apple's products, with the goal of better safeguarding our users. The job involves performing security reviews of low level software and hardware, side channel and fault attacks on SoC hardware, and research into advanced physical attacks.



Description
Customers' security, privacy, and safety are very important to Apple. Your job will be to analyze our products and attempt to break them in ways that could undermine these goals, including when the attacker is in possession of the Apple device. In order to do that, you will be expected to:

- Examine embedded systems and find security vulnerabilities in Apple or 3rd party firmware and bootloaders
- Develop proof-of-concept exploits for found vulnerabilities
- Examine new Apple silicon security features and demonstrate if/how they can be defeated
- Perform physical attacks on hardware in a lab environment
- Propose new ideas for security hardening and mitigations
- Stay abreast of modern hacking techniques against Apple products, including those where the attacker is in close proximity or possession of the device
