Job Details

We've partnered with a well-funded embedded security startup developing advanced authentication and encryption solutions for complex systems. They're assembling their founding engineering team and are seeking Embedded Software Engineers focused on low-level system development and embedded security.

Your Role:

• Design and develop mixed-signal PCBs for embedded microcontroller and security-focused systems.
• Take ownership of schematic creation, PCB layout, and production-ready module bring-up.
• Integrate wireless subsystems, including BLE, GPS, and LTE, with secure microcontrollers.
• Apply design techniques that improve physical and electronic tamper resistance.
• Perform board bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in electronic circuit and PCB design for embedded systems.
• Demonstrated experience with microcontroller-based hardware, power regulation, and mixed-signal designs.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design software (Altium, KiCad, or similar).
• Experience integrating wireless communication modules into compact embedded systems.
• Knowledge of hardware security elements, such as secure microcontrollers, cryptographic coprocessors, or TPMs.
• Strong debugging skills with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and protocol analyzers.

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with firmware development in C/C++.
• Background in designing electronics for automotive, mobility, or rugged environments.
• Familiarity with tamper detection, conformal coatings, or physical security techniques.
