Security Application Engineer

Tortuga Logic, a System-on-chip (SoC) level cybersecurity company is seeking a Security Applications Engineer for our Silicon Valley office, to work closely with our R&D team and customers in the deployment of unique & innovative products to address the growing need for secure SoC designs. At Tortuga Logic, our goal is to help the world’s leading SoC design companies to identify security vulnerabilities at the hardware/software boundary. Our proprietary technology will pinpoint potentially expensive security bugs in SoC silicon before tapeout.

As a Security Application Engineer you will work closely with our customers on specific chip design projects, support our customers’ use of our products and represent our customer as the interface to R&D. This role has elements of pre and post-sales technical support. Travel and extended on-site engagement will be required.

Our products co-exist with all traditional EDA design tools. Your expertise in Emulation flows and technology and familiarity with simulation and RTL standards is essential. Additionally, your knowledge of SoC architecture and verification methodologies is a plus. You do not need to be an expert in security concepts, but you will become one.

Your primary responsibility will be pre-sales product evaluations and post-sales product deployment on-site at our key accounts.
