Location: Remote with potential travel

Completely greenfield initiative! V1 go live is end of October but multiple year project

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Solutions Architect to lead the architectural redesign and development of a next-generation biometric device for enterprise security. This role is critical to delivering a cutting-edge, security-first solution that integrates biometrics, RFID, NFC, and cloud-managed device control.

You will be responsible for building the architecture, ensuring security compliance, and delivering a fully functional solution that meets strict enterprise security standards.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & System Design:

• Redesign the existing embedded/hardware system architecture, ensuring scalability, security, and performance.
• Establish best practices for software development and system integration.
• Define and implement the app layer on ThreadX RTOS, ensuring smooth interaction with the edge node.

Firmware & Software Development:

• Experience in C-based applications on ThreadX RTOS.
• Implement secure device provisioning, firmware updates, and edge connectivity.
• Integrate NXP SE050 secure elements, ECC cryptographic support, and FIDO2 authentication.

Security & Compliance:

• Implement end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.3, Wi-Fi security, and device authentication).
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security standards and HP’s requirements.
• Manage secure key provisioning and device authentication mechanisms.

eam & Delivery Management:

• Oversee architecture and development teams, collaborating with a wide array of internal and external colleagues
• Work closely with hardware ODMs, ensuring seamless hardware-software integration.
• Provide accurate time estimates and task completion dates for leadership

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of experience in embedded systems architecture, firmware development, and security.
• Strong proficiency in C, embedded systems development, and ThreadX RTOS.
• Experience with hardware security elements (NXP SE050, TPM, Secure Enclave).
• Knowledge of FIDO2 authentication, biometric security, and RFID/NFC technologies.
• Strong cybersecurity proficiencies with proven expertise in TLS, encryption, and secure boot.
• Ability to architect, implement, and deliver mission-critical solutions under tight deadlines.

Why Join?

• Be at the forefront of enterprise security innovation with a first-of-its-kind device
• Work with top-tier hardware and software technologies.
• Drive mission-critical architecture decisions for a global enterprise.
• Long-term opportunity with ongoing projects for the next 2+ years.

This is a high-stakes project, and we need the best minds in embedded architecture, security, and edge computing. If you have the expertise, we’d love to chat.
