Are you passionate about cryptography and secure infrastructures?

 

Join us as a PKI / HSM Engineer and take ownership of designing, implementing, and operating cutting-edge cryptographic systems that power our products and manufacturing processes. In this role, you’ll ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and compliance of our cryptographic assets across R&D, manufacturing, and operational technology environments.

 

 

Your profile:

 

  • 5+ years of experience with PKI infrastructure and HSM administration in product or manufacturing environments.

 

  • Strong knowledge of code signing, secure boot, and firmware integrity protection.

 

  • Hands-on experience with HSM platforms (Thales, Utimaco, Entrust, or similar).

 

  • Familiarity with PKI systems and certificate lifecycle management (Keyfactor, ADCS, EJBCA).

 

  • Solid understanding of cryptographic standards (X.509, PKCS#11/12, KMIP).

 

  • Experience integrating HSMs into CI/CD and manufacturing systems.

 

  • Excellent documentation skills and audit-ready mindset.

 

Preferred qualifications:

 

  • Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field.

 

  • Experience with post-quantum cryptography assessments or migration planning.

 

  • Background in embedded or industrial systems (IoT, smart metering, OT).

 

  • Knowledge of compliance frameworks (IEC 62443, ISO 27001).

 

 

Your activities:

 

  • Design, maintain, and operate product PKI systems for  certificate management,  device identity, firmware signing, and software code signing.

 

  • Administer and manage Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for secure key storage, signing, and provisioning.

 

  • Define and enforce key lifecycle management policies (generation, rotation, backup, retirement).

 

  • Integrate HSMs with CI/CD pipelines and manufacturing workflows for secure releases.

 

  • Manage enterprise-level certificate management tools (e.g., Keyfactor, Thales, EJBCA).

 

  • Collaborate with R&D and Manufacturing teams to design secure provisioning and traceability processes.

 

  • Provide documentation and audit evidence for product certifications (e.g., IEC 62443).

 

  • Stay ahead of cryptographic trends and evaluate post-quantum readiness strategies.

 

 

Why Join Us?

 

  • You will work on mission-critical cryptographic infrastructure for innovative products.

 

  • You will collaborate with cross-functional teams in R&D, Manufacturing, and OT.

 

  • You will drive security maturity and compliance in a global technology environment.
