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 development team that develops state-of-the art secure cryptographic libraries which are 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.).
When you join NXP you have the opportunity to broaden your technical knowledge in all of these areas.
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.
Driving technical domain-related discussions across teams and support in project planning
Collaboration with security architects and internal evaluation teams to develop 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, cryptography, computer science, electronic/ electrical engineering, information technology or relevant discipline.
10+ years (or equivalent combination of advanced degree and experience) of cryptography and embedded security experience, with strong understanding and implementation of crypto primitives (e.g., AES, SHA, RSA, ECC).
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.
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.
We offer
We offer you the opportunity to learn and build on your technical knowledge and experience in some of the following areas:
algorithm development including post quantum cryptography (DES, AES, RSA, ECC, SHA and many more)
embedded software development in C and Assembly
work with ARM Cortex M and RISC V platforms
Work on hardware and software countermeasures against side channel (SCA) and fault attacks, (FA).
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.
