Technical Tools

Software EngineerSoftware Engineering

Join one of the world’s largest industrial security teams — and build technology that protects real devices worldwide.
At NXP’s Competence Center Crypto & Security, we design, build, and deliver end-to-end security — from early innovation to architecture to products in the field.
If you're a security engineer who wants to create real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Become part of a highly talented and dynamic international team that develops and tests state-of-the art secure cryptographic libraries protected against physical and logical attacks which have applications across all different NXP domains and business lines (payment, identification, mobile, IoT, Automotive, Edge Processing, etc.).

The main challenge for an Embedded Senior Crypto Software Developer in this role is to find the required trade off to meet the challenging demands with respect to performance/memory footprint and particularly security for the entire NXP Security portfolio. Moreover, the Crypto Libraries have to meet various Certification Requirements up to the highest level (e.g. Common Criteria up to EAL 6+). In order to achieve this, this role requires a deep knowledge of various embedded architectures (in particular ARM/RiscV).
