Help protect technology that powers millions of devices worldwide.
As a member of NXP's Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), you will play a key role in safeguarding our secure chip products after they have been deployed to customers around the globe.
Acting as the central point of coordination for product security incidents, you will work closely with engineering teams, customers, and security researchers to investigate vulnerabilities, assess risks, coordinate remediation efforts, and communicate security guidance. You will drive security issues from initial reporting through resolution and responsible disclosure, helping ensure that customers can continue to trust the products they rely on every day.
This is not a purely hands-on engineering role. Instead, it offers a unique blend of product security, incident response, stakeholder management, and technical leadership. Success in this position comes from your ability to bring together experts from different disciplines, navigate complex security challenges, and drive solutions to completion.
Our PSIRT team is dedicated to rapidly addressing security threats affecting NXP products worldwide. By investigating reported vulnerabilities, evaluating their impact, and providing timely and actionable guidance to customers, we help protect products throughout their lifecycle and maintain the trust that customers place in NXP.
If you enjoy leading security investigations, coordinating across diverse stakeholders, and making a visible impact on the security of products used by millions of people worldwide, we'd love to hear from you.
