About The Role

As an Offensive Security Engineer within HP IQ’s Product Security team, you will partner closely with engineering teams to identify, validate, and mitigate security risks across the product lifecycle. You’ll influence design decisions, embed security into development workflows, and continuously assess attack surfaces to guide and enhance secure development.

What You Might Do

• Lead penetration tests and security assessments for product and feature releases.
• Conduct continuous security engagements, proactively identifying vulnerabilities and driving remediation to closure.
• Advise engineering and product teams on remediation strategy, validating fixes and tracking measurable improvements to security posture over time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
• Assess attack surfaces across internet-facing services, APIs, and device interfaces (Wi-Fi, BLE, USB).
• Perform threat modeling and security architecture reviews that directly shape product decisions.
• Define and lead end-to-end risk reduction initiatives with internal and external stakeholders, aligning offensive findings to strategic security investments.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
• Shape the offensive security roadmap, defining assessment scope, tooling, and methodology standards.

Essential Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as an offensive security engineer or equivalent.
• Experience threat modeling (e.g., STRIDE) and mapping adversary techniques (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK).
• Expertise in identifying and exploiting common vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10, SANS 25).
• Hands-on experience testing embedded systems, firmware, and device software, including bootloader security, OS hardening, and low-level interface exploitation (e.g., JTAG, UART, SPI/I2C).
