We are looking for a curious and technically strong Embedded Security Engineer / Vulnerability Researcher to join our software vulnerability analysis team. In this role, you will break, analyze, and harden embedded systems used in next‑generation products.

This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy digging deep into firmware, hardware behavior, and attack surfaces — whether your background comes from embedded development, security research, or hands‑on hacking of real systems.

If you like understanding how systems really work, finding unexpected behavior, and thinking like an attacker, this role is for you.

What You Will Do

Analyze embedded software and systems for security vulnerabilities during product development
Explore and validate potential attack paths across firmware, boot flows, and system interfaces
Perform hands‑on security testing using static and dynamic analysis techniques
Support product security assessments and certification‑related security activities
Investigate security incidents and vulnerability reports in collaboration with PSIRT and development teams
Research and experiment with new or emerging attack techniques against secure embedded systems
Advise development teams on concrete, practical security improvements
Contribute to innovation by challenging assumptions and identifying systemic weaknesses

What You Bring

Technical Background

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
Strong foundation in embedded systems or low‑level software engineering
Practical experience with C; exposure to assembly (ARM or RISC‑V) is highly valued
Understanding of bare‑metal software, boot processes, memory layouts, and system behavior
Familiarity with microcontroller or SoC architectures (ARM, RISC‑V, or similar)
Experience with or strong interest in security testing, reverse engineering, or vulnerability research
Hands‑on mindset — you like experimenting, probing, and validating ideas on real systems

Who You Are

You think like an engineer and like an attacker
You enjoy solving complex, non‑obvious problems
You are comfortable working independently but value collaboration
You can clearly explain technical findings to both experts and non‑experts
You are curious, pragmatic, and focused on real‑world impact

Why Join Us

Work on real embedded devices, not abstract security problems
Analyze and influence the security of products used at scale
Collaborate with experts across hardware, firmware, and security research
Freedom to explore, experiment, and challenge designs
An inclusive environment that values diverse technical backgrounds and perspectives

Please note: The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks. The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary.
