Firmware Engineer

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 Engineer to develop 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?

• Collaborate with a small team of firmware developers
• 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
• 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

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
• Financial stability - we are backed by SatoshiLabs and a foreign investor
• Transparency and Honesty are our best policies
• and more! We’d love to tell you about our benefits during the interview
