Careers

We are Tropic Square. Our mission is to make a TRuly OPen IC. We believe in this digital age, transparent and audible security solutions are necessary to ensure high standards. Our belief led to the creation of TROPIC01 - the secure chip with a revolutionary and transparent implementation.

We deeply care about security, so we strive to make improvements where it is possible. We want to work closely with an expert or academic who can help us advance the techniques in our Secure Design. We are also involved with the EU’s ORSHIN project, where your research findings will be a significant contribution to the IoT industry.

Join us as a Security Researcher who will support and guide our ASIC and Firmware design teams in the transparent secure chip implementations. Collaborate with our partner universities and research institutions to contribute to the IoT EU project.

‍

What are some topics you will be researching?

• Fault injection prevention
• Side channel leakage assessment
• Test Vector Leak Assessment
• Known attacks in hardware security
• State-of-the-art technologies and countermeasures.

What do we need from you?

• An PhD or Masters related to Embedded Security
• Applied cryptography experience is welcomed
• Proficient level in English
• A high level of autonomy and a growth mindset

What do we offer in return?

• A chance to work on a unique project with an agile team focused on developing cutting-edge solutions for secure embedded electronics
• Learn from the best professionals in the field
• Flexible working hours as well as the possibility of working from home
• Support for a high level of freedom and your further growth

We are Tropic Square. Our mission is to make a TRuly OPen IC. We believe in this digital age, transparent and audible security solutions are necessary to ensure high standards. Our belief led to the creation of TROPIC01 - the secure chip with a revolutionary and transparent implementation.

We have the first silicon prototypes with an on-chip RISC-V core ready, so we are advancing to focus on the firmware development that will be part of the final product.

Join us as a Firmware Architect / Team Leader and take the responsibility to drive the development of the production firmware. We have been utilizing firmware from the early stages of our silicon design, along with custom firmware for the chip validation. However, production firmware is the next challenge ahead of us. Are you ready to help us tackle this?
‍

What will your duties be?

• Lead a small team of firmware developers to drive firmware projects execution
• Shape firmware-related technologies (we use C and Python, but we are open to other solutions)
• Develop, optimize and test the firmware
• Define, deploy, and maintain the firmware development environment

What do we need from you?

• A solid background in production firmware development, deployment, and maintenance
• Previous experience with C and Python programming, ARM or RISC-V architecture
• The ability to lead a small team, and learn new technologies
• Secure firmware development and testing experience (or the willingness to learn)
• Applied cryptography and security experience is welcomed
• Experience with open source development is welcomed
• A growth mindset and a high level of autonomy
