The Senior Manager of Security Architect will help shape our IP security activities, and provide technical advice in order to advance our licensing model for the future. This is a highly collaborative hybrid role, blending the business needs and the controls necessary to protect our investments and revenue streams. This manager will ensure alignment with other technical teams, business groups, sales and legal groups; and actively represent the IP Protection function as a key contributor within internal working groups.
This role will contribute significantly to the definition, strategy, development, and execution of IP security across several businesses. This position offers the chance to make a fundamental contribution to the way Dolby deploys its Intellectual Property. The role is based in San Francisco reporting to the Director of IP Protection and Enforcement Programs.
Responsibilities:
Investigate, prototype and evaluate new architectures for protecting Dolby’s Intellectual Property and technologies, focusing on the best balance between cost/complexity/security/flexibility, making these solutions feasible and effective for different platforms and architectures
Work with external security partners, lead the technical investigation and analysis of their security solutions, and present the results to Dolby management
Define robustness rules and engage directly with silicon partners to understand their current IP Protection mechanisms, ensuring they fulfill Dolby’s requirements. Help and guide them to define/enforce/expand such protection schemes for new technologies
