Data Trust Security Researcher (Graduate Hire)

About our group:

About the role - you will:

As a Data Trust Security Researcher, you will collaborate with a team of researchers and engineers to explore and evaluate next‑generation security technologies. In this role, you will:

• Prototype and evaluate cryptographic algorithms, including Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and conventional cryptography
• Assess and validate security protocols for embedded and resource‑constrained environments
• Explore memory‑safe programming languages for secure embedded implementations
• Research the evolving threat landscape and identify applicable mitigation techniques
• Work with Seagate Research teams on topics such as cryptography, product security, and data security
• Conduct performance benchmarking, robustness analysis, and experimental validation of security techniques
• Contribute to proof‑of‑concepts and experimental platforms involving cryptography, hardware trust, or secure embedded systems

About you:

We’re Looking for Someone Who Is:

• Knowledgeable in cryptography, security standards, and protocols
• Familiar with concepts in Side‑Channel Analysis or hardware‑based security attacks/defenses
• Knowledgeable with memory‑safe languages
• A collaborative team player with a proactive, learning‑oriented mindset
• Able to clearly articulate technical concepts to both technical and cross‑functional audiences

Your experience includes:

• PHD in Cryptology , mathematics or any relevant fields.
• Implementing or designing cryptographic algorithms
• Applying or researching Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
• Exposure to Side‑Channel Analysis, leakage evaluation, or countermeasure techniques
• Software development
• Working with embedded systems programming and debugging security-related projects an advantage
• Experience with biometric security systems is an advantage
• Development experience in Linux environments
• FPGA development or hardware‑accelerated implementations for cryptography or security projects

Location:

The Shugart site (named after Seagate’s founder, Al Shugart) is a research and design center. Easily accessible from the One-North MRT Station, many employees choose to take mass-transportation to work. Being a purpose built building, The Shugart has excellent employee recreational facilities. Take an active break at our badminton courts, table tennis tables, in-house gym and recreation rooms. We also offer classes and interest groups in photography, gardening and foreign languages, and have various on-site celebrations, and community volunteer opportunities.
