About the Role

Senior Hardware Security Researcher at Technology Innovation Institute (TII) – Cryptography Labs Hardware Team.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct hardware and firmware security assessments, combining physical and logical attack techniques to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.
  • Perform memory extraction from Flash, EEPROM, NOR/NAND, or other storage devices.
  • Reverse engineer firmware and binaries using tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, or radare2 to uncover security weaknesses.
  • Implement and automate custom test benches and toolchains for HW/SW analysis.
  • Execute and analyse side‑channel attacks (CPA, DPA, EM, timing, TVLA) and fault injection campaigns (voltage glitching, EMFI, laser) on embedded targets.
  • Analyse secure boot, cryptographic primitives, and firmware protection mechanisms to identify design and implementation weaknesses.
  • Interface with embedded systems through JTAG, SWD, UART, SPI, and simi...
