Job Description

We’re seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer with a passion for secure hardware design and cryptography. In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, contributing to the architecture and implementation of hybrid cryptographic systems that protect data at the chip level.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement hybrid cryptographic solutions within secure hardware architectures (e.g., hardware root of trust).
  • Develop co-design modules for cryptographic algorithms, optimizing for performance and resource usage.
  • Implement HDL modules (VHDL/Verilog) and associated embedded software in C and Python.
  • Conduct integration and validation of cryptographic components in embedded environments.
  • Participate in system-level testing, verification, and performance analysis.
  • Support threat modeling and design reviews to enhance security robustness.
  • Prepare design documentation, test reports, and implementation guides.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across hardware, software, and cybersecurity.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or equivalent.
  • Proficient in HDL (VHDL/Verilog), C, and Python.
  • Strong understanding of cryptography and secure hardware principles.
  • Experience with simulation, verification, and embedded software integration.
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and collaborative in cross-functional environments.

Preferred / Plus

  • Knowledge of post-quantum cryptography or hardware security primitives.
  • Experience with hardware/software co-design tools and secure coding standards.

About FortifyIQ

FortifyIQ engineers certifiable cryptographic IP cores, software libraries, and roots of trust combining traditional algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, HMAC-SHA2) with post-quantum cryptography (PQC). All hardware IP cores implement RTL-level algorithmic SCA/FIA countermeasures, while software libraries use the same algorithmic protections, delivering high-assurance security with minimal impact on performance, power, or area.

Our solutions are foundry- and platform-agnostic, integrating securely across a wide range of devices, from smart cards and IoT nodes to AI accelerators and cloud systems. FortifyIQ validates all designs using proprietary pre- and post-silicon EDA tools, supported by formal proofs, extensive research, and a growing portfolio of patents.

FortifyIQ cryptography provides secure boot and post-quantum readiness, with software OTA-updates and asymmetric hardware IP (ECC, RSA, PQC) FOTA-updates, supporting high-assurance embedded, industrial, and cloud systems. By combining rigorous physical attack resilience with near-native efficiency in both hardware and software, FortifyIQ delivers advanced cryptography that is certifiable, reliable, and built to meet the challenges of high-assurance, real-world applications.
