Job Description
We’ve partnered with a well-funded embedded security startup developing advanced authentication and encryption solutions for complex systems. They’re assembling their founding engineering team and are seeking Embedded Software Engineers focused on low-level system development and embedded security.
Your Role :
- Design and develop mixed-signal PCBs for embedded microcontroller and security-focused systems.
- Take ownership of schematic creation, PCB layout, and production-ready module bring-up.
- Integrate wireless subsystems, including BLE, GPS, and LTE, with secure microcontrollers.
- Apply design techniques that improve physical and electronic tamper resistance.
- Perform board bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
What We’re Looking For :
5+ years of experience in electronic circuit and PCB design for embedded systems.Demonstrated experience with microcontroller-based hardware, power regulation, and mixed-signal designs.Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design software (Altium, KiCad, or similar).Experience integrating wireless communication modules into compact embedded systems.Knowledge of hardware security elements, such as secure microcontrollers, cryptographic coprocessors, or TPMs.Strong debugging skills with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and protocol analyzers.Bonus Skills :
Experience with firmware development in C / C++.Background in designing electronics for automotive, mobility, or rugged environments.Familiarity with tamper detection, conformal coatings, or physical security techniques.For more information, reach out to brooke@mach-scale.com.
