Job Description

• Perform EMV Level 2 certification testing on payment terminals and POS devices
• Work at the EMV kernel level — the software layer that handles chip and contactless card transactions
• Execute certification test suites using FIME Eval+ tool (both contact and contactless)
• Analyse and debug low-level card-terminal communication:
• APDU commands — the messages exchanged between the card and the terminal
• TLV data — the structured format in which EMV data is encoded and transmitted
• Support EMVCo certification activities — test execution, defect reporting, retesting
• Work closely with device development and certification teams to resolve kernel-level issues
• Document test results, defect findings, and certification status

• Hands-on experience performing EMV L2 certification testing — not L3, not support, not observation
• Practical experience using FIME Eval+ tool for L2 kernel test execution
• Strong understanding of EMV transaction flow — from card insertion/tap through to authorisation
• Ability to read and interpret APDU command sequences and TLV-encoded data
• Understanding of both contact and contactless card-terminal interaction
• Experience working with POS or payment terminal devices in a certification context

• Familiarity with payment scheme specifications — Visa, Mastercard, Amex contactless kernels
• Experience with ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement) form preparation
• Exposure to BTT (Brand Test Tool)
• Knowledge of EMVCo TTA (Terminal Type Approval) process
