Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer
Location: Belfast
By 2035, it is estimated that a colossal 1 trillion connected devices will be live across the globe. This introduces a new, complex web of security threats to people, lives, and connected cities.
At ANGOKA, we are focused on the security of critical machine-to-machine (M2M) communications particularly across Smart Cities and Smart Mobility. Our ground-breaking, quantum-safe solutions offer device identity protection, communication integrity and data provenance by creating trusted connections, even over untrustworthy networks.
“Smart”, innovative systems that are not trustworthy will fail to gain the confidence of users and will not be adopted commercially. Fortunately, commercial deployment and the consequent social and economic benefits of these systems can be unlocked by ANGOKA’s high-grade, quantum-safe cyber-security solutions.
Why join our talented team:
We are looking for an Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer to join some of the industry’s brightest minds dedicated to developing hardware and software authentication and encryption solutions. You will work within our growing Engineering Team who are responsible for developing, implementing, and testing unique cryptographic protocols and technologies. As we are continuously pushing the boundaries in our field of expertise, you will have the chance to experience and introduce new technologies, drive our solutions in new directions and push yourself to reach your own career goals with our support.
You will also have the rare opportunity in NI to work on projects with cryptography, quantum computing and a vast range of technology, from autonomous vehicles to drones. With the help and support of our software and firmware teams, the opportunities for you are endless!
What you will do:
- Work with the software/firmware teams to develop embedded solutions
- Contribute to the creation of high-level specifications
- Design and implement embedded software components
- Contribute to the creation of test plans
