Hardware Security Research Engineer
About this role
We are seeking a visionary and hands-on Hardware Security Research Engineer to join our security team in Aalborg. In this role, you will act as a bridge between future-looking security research and practical technical implementation. Your primary mission is to provide deep insights into the evolving hardware security landscape, analyze emerging hardware security technologies, and build functional prototypes that push the boundaries of hardware-level protection.
Core Responsibilities:
Technical Trend Insight: Investigate and analyze cutting-edge hardware security trends and industry standards to identify emerging hardware security technologies.
Frontier Technology Analysis: Conduct in-depth analysis of emerging hardware security architectures, providing strategic recommendations for future product roadmaps.
Prototype Development: Design and develop proof-of-concept (PoC) prototypes to validate research findings or demonstrate novel security countermeasures.
Requirements
- Core Hardware Security Experience: Experience in designing, developing, or evaluating hardware security technologies (such as Hardware Root of Trust, cryptographic engineering and evaluation, device supply chain validation, and side channel and fault injection analysis) is required.
- Professional Fluency in English: Strong command of English as a working language, with the ability to communicate technical concepts fluently and author high-quality insight reports and technical analysis documents.
- Technical Requirements: Proficient in the Linux development environment, with demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following:
- Software development (C/C++, Rust, or Python);
- Hardware design (Verilog/VHDL) or PCB design and development;
- Advanced algorithm implementation (Cryptography or AI).
- Familiarity with hardware security standards bodies (e.g., Trusted Computing Group) or experience working with European standardization organizations (e.g., ETSI and CENELEC) is preferred
