Key Responsibilities:
Full-Stack Embedded Development: Design and maintain secure C/C++ applications across Windows (Visual Studio), Linux (Eclipse), and RTOS;
Modern User Interfaces: Develop robust C#/.NET desktop applications (WPF/WinForms) for system monitoring, configuration, and secure data visualization;
System Hardening: Build and secure Yocto-based Linux distributions, ensuring a minimal attack surface and protected boot cycles;
Low-Level Integrity: Design firmware for RTOS with a focus on memory protection, deterministic behaviour, and secure hardware interfacing (SPI, I2C, UART);
Cyber-Security Implementation: Integrate security controls such as encryption (AES, RSA), Secure Boot, and Hardware Root of Trust (TPM/HSM);
Cross-Platform Integration: Ensure seamless and secure communication between C# high-level applications and low-level embedded targets.
What You’ll Bring
Languages: Proficiency in C, C++ (Embedded) and C# (Application level);
Windows Ecosystem: Expert use of Microsoft Visual Studio for both C++ and .NET development;
Linux & Yocto: Experience with Embedded Linux and the Yocto Project (BitBake);
Low-Level/RTOS: Solid understanding of RTOS concepts (tasks, semaphores, ISRs);
Security-First Mindset: Knowledge of cryptographic libraries, secure communication protocols (TLS), and vulnerability mitigation;
IDEs: Proficient in Visual Studio and Eclipse-based environments.
