Embedded Software Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and execute test plans to independently verify and validate CyberSecurity enhancements on hydraulic mobile valve embedded controllers.
• Evaluate secure boot architectures, firmware authentication mechanisms, access control models, and secure over-the-air/in-field update processes.
• Detailed verification plans, test cases, trace matrices, and documented evidence supporting compliance with the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and related regulatory frameworks.
• Utilize JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers to conduct low-level verification, fault injection, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing directly on the target hardware.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts in Python for security regression testing, hardware interfacing, and test output parsing.
• Perform targeted source code reviews and static analysis on low-level Embedded C firmware to ensure secure implementation against potential vulnerabilities.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in embedded software verification, test engineering, or embedded security validation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• Hands-on experience developing or testing firmware on Texas Instruments C2000 microcontrollers (specifically TMS320F2809 or similar TI DSP/MCU architectures).
• In-depth technical understanding of secure boot implementations, cryptographic signature verification, key management, access control, and secure firmware flashing.
• Practical understanding of regulatory cybersecurity frameworks, specifically generating technical evidence for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), IEC 62443, or ETSI EN 303 645.
• Strong proficiency in Embedded C (for firmware review) and Python (for test script development and automation).
• Debugging Tools: Proven expertise using JTAG debuggers, in-circuit emulators, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
