Job Description

In this role, you will be responsible for the continuous development of our current reader platform with a strong focus on new credentials, communication interfaces, and cybersecurity. You will work on established embedded products and contribute to their long-term evolution in alignment with the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

• Firmware development – develop and maintain firmware for our existing reader platform in C, ensuring stability, compatibility, and long-term maintainability.
• Credentials – integrate and validate new RFID and authentication technologies to address evolving product and customer requirements.
• Communication interfaces – implement and enhance wired and wireless communication interfaces, ensuring reliable interoperability with host systems and peripheral devices.
• Hardware interaction – analyze and debug firmware directly on target hardware, including bring-up activities, troubleshooting, and verification of hardware-related behavior.
• Platform maintenance – maintain low-level firmware components, including drivers, middleware, and application-related modules within a bare-metal environment.
• Testing – Implement methods for unit and integration testing, including the use of other programming languages such as C# or Python.
• Secure communication – define and implement secure authentication, credential handling, and interface protection concepts across the existing product platform.
• Cybersecurity – contribute to technical measures that improve product security and support compliance with the requirements of the European Cyber Resilience Act.
