Job Description
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Embedded Systems Engineer with strong expertise in C and Rust to support the modernization and secure integration of embedded platform capabilities. This role focuses on upgrading legacy embedded codebases, implementing secure boot mechanisms, and integrating cryptographic and management services across secure hardware modules.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working at the intersection of embedded firmware, secure systems, and hardware-backed security, and can operate effectively in mission-critical, security-sensitive environments.
Position Summary
The Embedded Systems Engineer will be responsible for modernizing core embedded software components, implementing secure boot logic, and enabling secure management interfaces across platform services. This role requires hands-on development, low-level debugging, and close collaboration with systems, security, and hardware engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Modernize the PFED core by migrating legacy components from C to Rust while preserving performance and functionality
- Design and implement secure boot logic, including hardware root-of-trust integration
- Integrate TPM-based security services for boot verification, attestation, and key storage
- Connect PFED management functions with the Cassian API for secure control and monitoring
- Integrate cryptographic workflows with HSM modules to support secure key management
- Develop, test, and validate embedded firmware in security-sensitive environments
- Perform low-level debugging, bring-up, and system validation
- Collaborate with systems, hardware, and security engineers to ensure end-to-end platform integrity
- Maintain clear technical documentation for embedded software and security interfaces
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems or systems-level software development
- Strong proficiency in C and Rust for embedded or low-level development
- Experience working with secure boot mechanisms and hardware root-of-trust concepts
- Familiarity with TPM integration and cryptographic services
- Experience interfacing embedded systems with external APIs or management services
- Strong debugging skills using JTAG, serial consoles, and low-level diagnostic tools
- Experience working in Linux-based or RTOS embedded environments
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience modernizing or refactoring legacy embedded codebases
- Familiarity with HSMs and secure key management architectures
- Knowledge of cryptographic protocols and secure firmware update mechanisms
- Experience working in government, defense, or regulated environments
- Active or eligible security clearance
Security & Eligibility
