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.

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:

• Degree in in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Cryptography and a strong interest in applied ML

• 5 years or more experience 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.
