Your responsibilities
• Implement low-level embedded C automated software tests on target side (on a micro controller/hardware emulator) and on the host side (in Python, on PC), based on the defined specifications.
• Implement improvements and maintain our versatile testing framework by writing host (Python) and target-side (embedded C) code
• Analyze and debug Crypto Library issues and provide a first-level assessment to the Crypto Developers.
• Grow in-depth understanding of the cryptographic algorithms under test
• Define test specifications for validating crypto library components and algorithms
Who we’re looking for:
To ensure your success in this role, the following experience is needed:
• A degree in Computer Science, Microelectronics Engineering or similar
• 4+ years of relevant working experience
• Proficiency with embedded C-development
• Practical experience with Python is considered an advantage
• Knowledge of software testing methodology
• Prior knowledge/understanding of cryptographic algorithms is
considered a plus, but is not mandatory
Furthermore, you are:
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• Proactive and capable of independent work
• Self-organized with good problem-solving skills
