Product Security Intern
Join a security‑focused engineering team to design and implement a fuzzing framework targeting standard storage protocols such as NVMe or UFS. Your work will improve the robustness and security of protocol implementations by systematically generating and mutating protocol messages, automating test execution, and providing actionable triage outputs for engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Study target protocol specifications and identify high‑value fuzzing surfaces (commands, descriptors, state machines, error paths).
- Design a fuzzing architecture (generation/mutation strategies, seed corpus, state tracking, coverage signals).
- Implement the tool in a suitable language (Python, C, or C++) and integrate with existing open‑source fuzzers or harnesses.
- Build protocol parsers/encoders, test harnesses, and automate execution, logging, and crash/failure triage.
- Analyze results, document findings, and propose improvements to increase coverage and defect discovery rate.
- Present progress and final outcomes (design, demos, documentation) to the team.





Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in a Master’s degree program in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C, or C++.
- Solid understanding of operating system fundamentals (processes, memory, I/O, concurrency) and debugging techniques.
- Familiarity with networking/protocol concepts and binary data formats (serialization, parsing, endianness).
- Ability to read technical specifications and translate them into testable implementations.
- Good written and spoken English communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience with fuzzing tools or methodologies (e.g., AFL, libFuzzer, Honggfuzz) and sanitizers.
- Knowledge of storage or embedded protocols (NVMe, UFS, PCIe, SCSI, JEDEC, MIPI) and/or device/firmware validation.
- Experience with Linux development, scripting, and build systems.
- Exposure to reverse engineering or security tes
