Firmware Engineer

Join a pioneering deep-tech team as a Firmware Engineer dedicated to building the next generation of secure computing platforms. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to breakthrough semiconductor technology that protects mission-critical systems in an increasingly hostile digital world.

You collaborate closely with silicon designers, platform architects, and security specialists to develop foundational low-level software that enables advanced computing hardware to operate securely and efficiently. They will take ownership for new-chip bring-up, hardware abstraction layers, and secure system control across the full lifecycle — from prototypes through field deployment.

Responsibilities

• Develop, optimize, and maintain embedded firmware for high-assurance processors and security-centric compute modules
• Implement trusted execution flows such as secure boot, cryptographic services, and anti-tamper mechanisms
• Create device drivers and middleware interfacing directly with custom silicon, accelerators, and FPGA-based prototypes
• Debug complex interactions using hardware instrumentation tools (e.g., JTAG, oscilloscopes, trace systems)
• Support system integration, validation, and performance tuning in safety-critical and edge environments
• Contribute to architectural decisions ensuring both speed and resilience against evolving cyber threats
• Produce robust documentation aligned with engineering quality and certification requirements

Qualifications

• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware development
• Demonstrated experience with microcontroller or SoC environments (ARM, RISC-V, or equivalent)
• Strong grasp of hardware fundamentals including registers, memory maps, interrupts, and bus protocols
• Hands-on experience with secure software design principles and cryptography-centric workflows
• Familiarity with RTOS technologies and device bring-up on new hardware platforms
• Exposure to hardware-rooted security (e.g., PUFs, TPM/HSM, secure enclaves)
• Background in FPGA prototyping or semiconductor development cycles
• Knowledge of post-quantum security concepts or secure networking protocols
• Experience in autonomous systems, defense technology, or distributed AI environments

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the convergence of hardware innovation and security excellence — someone who wants to see their code protecting real-world systems where compromise is not an option.
