Security Embedded Systems Engineer (Remote)

FortifyIQ is 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

Requirements:

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