About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Security Analyst to help define and scale security assurance and global compliance practices across our engineering and product organizations.

  • Create adoption frameworks and evaluate tools that make secure engineering, evidence collection, and reporting practical and repeatable.
  • Conduct security reviews, CRA and compliance assessments, readiness reviews, and focused security hackathons.
  • Coordinate with notified bodies and internal stakeholders on CRA evidence, reporting, and certification-readiness activities.
  • Support customers whose products integrate Altera FPGAs by helping interpret security requirements, identify evidence needs, and coordinate product-certification readiness.
  • Track findings and remediation plans, validate corrective actions, and report status to technical and leadership audiences.
