Embedded Senior Crypto Software Developer (m/f/d)

Join one of the world’s largest industrial security teams — and build technology that protects real devices worldwide.
At NXP’s Competence Center Crypto & Security, we design, build, and deliver end-to-end security — from early innovation to architecture to products in the field.
If you're a security engineer who wants to create real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Ready to join the future of innovation in Crypto & Security at NXP?

Become part of a highly talented and dynamic international team that develops and tests state-of-the art secure cryptographic libraries protected against physical and logical attacks which have applications across all different NXP domains and business lines (payment, identification, mobile, IoT, Automotive, Edge Processing, etc.).

The main challenge for an Embedded Senior Crypto Software Developer in this role is to find the required trade off to meet the challenging demands with respect to performance/memory footprint and particularly security for the entire NXP Security portfolio. Moreover, the Crypto Libraries have to meet various Certification Requirements up to the highest level (e.g. Common Criteria up to EAL 6+). In order to achieve this, this role requires a deep knowledge of various embedded architectures (in particular ARM/RiscV).

Responsibilities

• Specification and cross-platform implementation of state of the art cryptographic algorithms (incl. Post-Quantum Crypto) and secure software based on functional requirements.

• Design and specification of software-countermeasures to prevent physical attacks as Side Channel and Fault Attacks.

• Implementation of designed software-countermeasures.

• Collaboration with OS and Firmware teams to ensure clean and secure integration of the Crypto Software into the final product.

• Working closely together with the group`s test and platform support engineers to ensure maximum product quality.

• Driving and accompanying product certifications.

Your Profile

• BSc., MS., or PhD in mathematics, computer science, electronic/ electrical engineering, information technology or relevant discipline.

• Solid experience in embedded software development, using C and assembly as well as understanding of microcontroller architecture (in particular ARM Cortex M/Risc V based).

• Strong debugging and analysis skills.

• Strong understanding of cryptographic primitives (such as DES, AES, RSA, ECC, SHA etc.) and experience in their implementation.

• Knowledge of hardware and software countermeasures against side channel and fault attacks

• Experience in Post-Quantum Cryptography is a plus.

• Experience with Rust is a plus

• You are a team player, you have initiative and you achieve results.
