Network Security Engineer at Etched | LAYIQ

Design and implement a zero-trust network architecture across on-prem datacenters, multiple office locations, and multi-cloud platforms, including secure remote access that eliminates VPN sprawl without sacrificing engineer usability and speed
Define and enforce network segmentation policies that isolate sensitive ASIC development workflows from general infrastructure, customer access, validation labs, and manufacturing infrastructure
Balancing prevention and detection, deploy, tune, and operate NDR, IDS/IPS, and next-generation firewalls across our physical and virtual network fabric; build automation to continuously assess and enforce firewall rules, ACLs, and routing policies - treating network security configuration as code
Integrate and operate EDR/XDR, MDM/MAM, SASE, and CASB tooling in partnership with end-user and IT teams, enforcing unified DLP policies and device compliance posture across endpoint, cloud, and network control planes to eliminate data exfiltration risk
Own our vulnerability management process for network-layer exposure: scanning, prioritization, and remediation tracking in partnership with infrastructure engineers
Lead incident response for network-layer security events: detection, containment, root-cause analysis, and post-incident hardening
Partner with legal, compliance, and leadership to support regulatory requirements and customer security reviews as they arise
Architect and deploy network segmentation for our HPC clusters, isolating EDA tool traffic, ASIC simulation workloads, and CI pipelines from each other and from the corporate network
Architect and deploy a ZTNA-based corporate network that eliminates VPN sprawl and ensures end-user devices maintain a consistent security posture and seamless access to sensitive development environments - whether engineers are on-site, remote, or traveling - replacing location-dependent trust with continuous identity and device health verification
Design and implement a scalable NDR pipeline that ingests flow data across bare-metal switches and cloud VPCs, feeds a centralized SIEM, and generates actionable alerts with low false-positive rates
Develop runbooks and automated playbooks for the highest-probability incident scenarios - credential compromise, lateral movement, and exfiltration from IP-sensitive environments
Integrate EDR/XDR telemetry with SASE enforcement and CASB inline controls to build a unified DLP detection and response pipeline spanning endpoints, cloud SaaS, and the corporate network
Partner with end-user and IT teams to roll out MDM/MAM policies that containerize sensitive IP on engineer devices and enforce compliance-based conditional access across managed and unmanaged environments
You may be a good fit if you have (Must-have qualifications)
Bring deep, broad networking expertise - from low-level packet analysis and firewall log forensics to BGP configuration, multi-cloud networking, and CASB/SASE integration across a diverse SaaS landscape
Have hands-on experience with the Fortinet ecosystem - firewalls, FortiSASE, FortiAPs, and switches - and are comfortable with Arista switch platforms, including configuration, EOS automation, and integration into a broader security architecture
Treat security as an engineering discipline: you write code and automation rather than relying on point-and-click tooling, version-control your configurations, and develop intent-driven network automation
Have experience securing high-value compute environments - datacenters, HPC clusters, semiconductor design environments, or similar settings where the cost of a breach is extremely high
Have deployed and integrated EDR/XDR, MDM/MAM, SASE, and CASB tooling, and understand how to stitch them together into a unified DLP and access control framework that spans endpoints, cloud, and the network
Have built or operated ZTNA-based access models and understand how to enforce consistent security posture across on-site, remote, and traveling users without degrading the experience for engineers
Are comfortable owning your domain with minimal oversight: you can independently scope a project, identify the right tooling, and drive it to completion
Have strong Linux fundamentals and understand how OS-level networking (iptables/nftables, network namespaces, eBPF) interacts with physical and virtual network security controls
Have built or operated network security monitoring at scale - you know the difference between a good alert and noise, and you can architect a detection pipeline that surfaces real signal
Can communicate risk clearly to both technical peers and non-technical leadership, and can translate security requirements into actionable infrastructure changes
Strong candidates may also have experience with (Nice-to-have qualifications)
Experience with EDA environments or semiconductor IP security
Familiarity with cloud-native network security controls on AWS, GCP, or Azure (security groups, VPC flow logs, cloud firewalls, CSPM)
Background in or exposure to NIST, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 frameworks
Experience with eBPF-based network observability and security tooling
