Embedded Security Expert

We are Tropic Square. Our mission is to make a TRuly OPen IC. We believe in this digital age, transparent and auditable security solutions are necessary to ensure high standards. Our belief led to the creation of TROPIC01 - the secure chip with a revolutionary and transparent implementation.

We're looking for an Embedded Security Expert to join our remote-first team focused on open-source hardware in the semiconductor space.

We value both hackers who love to break things to improve them and analysts who are concentrated on a deep understanding of complex system security. Both roles are essential and valuable for our team to strengthen security of our products.

Note: We do not expect you to be an expert in every domain listed below. We are looking for a specialist with deep, black-belt knowledge in at least one of these pillars (FI, SCA, Crypto, or Certifications) and a willingness to share that expertise with the team.

What you'll work on

• Resilience analysis: Performing Side Channel Analysis (SCA) and Fault Injection (FI) attacks to identify vulnerabilities in our hardware designs

• Security architecture: Designing and validating countermeasures against physical attacks at both the silicon and firmware levels

• Cryptographic implementation: Working with cryptographic modules, ensuring their secure integration, and validating implementations

• Certification leadership: Guiding projects through formal security certification processes

• Tooling & automation: Developing and improving internal (and open source) tools for automated security testing and verification
