Job Description:

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Digital ASIC Design Engineer with a strong background in cryptographic hardware security to join our client’s R&D team. This is a chance to be part of an international, fast-paced innovation environment working on cutting-edge secure element devices used in mobile, payment, and biometric markets.

As a Digital ASIC Design Engineer/Cryptography expert, you will be a key technical contributor within a team that embraces a startup-style mindset, while benefiting from the backing and structure of a global player in the semiconductor sector. You’ll work closely with both hardware and software teams to enhance chip-level security and implement advanced cryptographic features across a broad portfolio of secure embedded products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the enhancement of hardware-level security based on real-world feedback from security labs and certification bodies.
• Implement and verify security features including but not limited to AES, TDES, KECCAK, PKI, and countermeasures against side-channel and fault attacks.
• Monitor cryptographic and physical attack trends and propose proactive mitigation strategies.
• Interpret and apply security and system-level constraints such as performance, power consumption, and compliance with industry standards.
• Support validation, debug, and security certification processes in close collaboration with software, test, and quality assurance teams.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in design methodology and IP development within a quality-driven workflow.
• Review and evaluate verification, validation, and qualification results to ensure secure and robust product delivery.

Candidate Profile:

• Solid expertise in hardware cryptography and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (AES, TDES, RNG, PKI, etc.).
• Familiarity with security certification schemes such as Common Criteria (CC), FIPS, or EMVCo.
• Degree in Electronic Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field (Master’s or above preferred).
• Strong experience in Digital ASIC Design – ideally within secure systems or SoC development.
• Proficient in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL with experience using industry-standard design tools (Synopsys, Cadence).
• Experience with scripting languages (TCL, Python) for automation and testbench development.
• Good understanding of ISO7816, ISO14443, and other relevant communication protocols.
• Strong English communication skills required for working in international teams.
