Embedded Cryptography Engineer

Overview

As an Embedded Cryptography Engineer in Glasgow, you will develop cryptographic software for security-critical products across automotive, payments, identity, IoT and edge computing. You will work with security architects, firmware, OS and hardware teams to implement and evaluate cryptographic technologies, including Post-Quantum Cryptography. The role blends low-level programming with security countermeasures to protect real-world devices. This is a chance to impact globally deployed products and shape security across multiple domains.

Responsibilities

• develop cryptographic software for embedded systems
• design and implement security countermeasures against side-channel and fault-injection attacks
• perform low-level debugging and problem solving in collaboration with hardware, firmware, OS and security teams
• work with security architects and internal evaluation teams to assess cryptographic solutions
• explore and apply post-quantum cryptography concepts and related technologies
• coordinate across automotive, payment, identification, IoT and edge computing domains

Key requirements

• core experience in cryptography and embedded security
• strong understanding and implementation of cryptographic primitives
• proficient in C and Assembly within embedded environments
• familiarity with ARM Cortex and RISC-V microcontroller architectures
• experience developing countermeasures against side-channel and fault-injection attacks
• strong debugging and low-level problem-solving skills
• experience collaborating with hardware, firmware, OS and security architecture teams
• Post-Quantum Cryptography or Rust experience advantageous

• strong debugging and analytical thinking
• effective cross-functional collaboration
• clear technical communication
