Junior Embedded AI Platform Security Engineer

Join our Innovation Team, where we explore cutting-edge concepts at the intersection of Machine Learning and Security. Our mission is to develop forward-looking solutions—such as model protection, privacy-preserving ML, security for agentic AI, and anomaly detection—that will later be integrated into our Edge products. This requires high-level innovation skills combined with a hands-on mindset. If you are passionate about building secure AI systems, exploring new ideas, and turning concepts into prototypes, this role is for you: Define strategies and implement solutions for protecting ML models and sensitive data during deployment. Focus areas include IP protection, privacy-preserving inference, and resilience against adversarial manipulation. Responsibilities: ----------------- * Design and implement model obfuscation and secure packaging techniques. * Develop IP protection strategies. * Enable secure execution environments for customer models using TEEs. * Assess and mitigate adversarial ML threats (evasion, poisoning attacks). * Define privacy-preserving inference mechanisms (e.g., differential privacy). * Advise on compliance with AI security and privacy regulations (GDPR, EU AI Act). Required Skills: ---------------- * Have a background in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Cryptography and a strong interest in applied ML, OR * Have a background in Machine Learning and an interest in cybersecurity. * Knowledge of model protection techniques and IP security. * Familiarity with adversarial ML attacks and defenses. * Understanding of TEEs and secure enclaves. * Knowledge of privacy-preserving ML concepts (differential privacy, federated learning basics). * Awareness of regulatory frameworks for AI security and privacy. Please note: The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks. The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary.
