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 testing concepts (crash triage, root‑cause analysis, threat modeling).
- Experience working with hardware labs, test equipment, or protocol analyzers.

Internship Details

- Location: Vimercate (MB), Italy (EMEA)
- Duration: 6 months + 6 months renewal
- Start date: August31st, 2026
- Work model: On‑site with flexible arrangements to accommodate academic needs

Benefits

- Hands‑on experience building a security testing tool with real engineering impact.
- Mentorship from experienced engineers in protocol validation and product security.
- Opportunity to work at the intersection of software, hardware, and security.
- Exposure to industry‑standard protocols (NVMe/UFS) and modern software quality practices.
- Compensation: €900–€1,200 per month in Italy; meal vouchers per day on site.

Equal Opportunity Statement

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
