Jobbeschreibung

Join one of the largest industrial security teams and build technology that protects real devices, worldwide. At NXP’s Competence Center Crypto & Security, we design, build, and deliver end-to-end security — from innovation to architecture to products in the field. If you’re a security engineer who wants impact, on real life security solutions, we’d love to hear from you. Ready to join the future of innovation in Crypto & Security at NXP? Become part of a highly talented and dynamic international development team that develops state-of-the art secure cryptographic libraries which are protected against physical and logical attacks, which have applications across all different NXP domains and business lines (payment, identification, mobile, IoT, Automotive, Edge Processing, etc.). When you join NXP you have the opportunity to broaden your technical knowledge in all of these areas.

Responsibilities:

• Specification and implementation of state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms (including Post-Quantum Cryptography) and secure software based on functional requirements.
• Implementation of software countermeasures against physical attacks such as Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) and Fault Injection (FI).
• Contribute to technical design discussions and code reviews within cryptographic domains.
• Collaboration with OS and firmware teams to ensure clean and secure integration of the cryptographic software into the final product.
• Working closely with the group’s test and platform support engineers to ensure maximum product quality.
• Supporting product certification activities and security evaluations.

Your Profile:

• BSc, MSc or PhD in mathematics, cryptography, computer science, electronic/ electrical engineering, information technology or relevant discipline.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in cryptography and embedded security (or an equivalent combination of advanced degree and relevant experience).
• Understanding of cryptographic primitives (e.g., ECC, RSA, AES, SHA-2/SHA-3).
• Experience in embedded software development using C and assembly, and understanding of microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V).
• Experience in hardware and software countermeasures against SCA and FI is a plus.
• Experience in Post-Quantum Cryptography is a plus.
• Experience with Rust is a plus.
• Strong debugging and analysis skills.
• You are a proactive team player with a strong willingness to learn and deliver results.

We offer:

• Work on state-of-the-art cryptographic software, including traditional and post-quantum cryptography, on ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V platforms.
• Develop software countermeasures against Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) and Fault Injection (FI) attacks.
• Contribute to technical designs and cross-team engineering activities.
• Collaborate with leading security experts across architecture, evaluation, firmware and certification domains.
• Contribute to solutions that safeguard applications across automotive, payment, identification, mobile, industrial, and IoT markets.

We offer attractive benefits to our employees like home office, flexible working time, meal benefits and more.
