Job description

Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Security

We’re interested in engineers who can bring up hardware, develop reliable firmware and integrate security capabilities into working devices.

Relevant experience

• Strong embedded C or C++ development.
• Embedded Linux, RTOS or bare-metal environments.
• Device drivers, board bring-up and hardware debugging.
• ARM, RISC-V or comparable processor architectures.
• Secure boot, firmware signing, trusted execution or cryptographic integration.
• Testing and optimisation within memory, power and performance constraints.

Experience with secure elements, hardware cryptographic accelerators or PQC implementation would be useful. Direct PQC experience is not essential.
