  • Experience developing software interfaces for cryptographic hardware modules in compliance with FIPS 140-2/140-3 standards

  • Experience applying least privilege, micro-segmentation, and continuous verification principles within embedded or resource-constrained environments

  • Familiarity with identity-aware access controls and policy enforcement at the device and network layer

  • Knowledge of secure software development practices that align with Zero Trust frameworks, including continuous monitoring and validation of system components

  • Experience integrating embedded systems into broader Zero Trust security ecosystems, including coordination with network and cloud security teams
