Job description

Are you ready to influence the security architecture of technologies that power the world? Join NXP's Competence Center for Crypto & Security and help define secure solutions that span our entire product portfolio.

We are looking for a System Security Architecture Expert who thrives on solving complex security challenges, thinks end-to-end, and enjoys shaping architectures that bring real value to global customers.

Your Mission: Secure NXP's Next-Generation Industrial Solutions

In this impactful role, you will:

  • Drive end-to-end security analysis for NXP solutions, with a strong focus on product-spanning features, interactions, and interfaces
  • Translate regulatory and certification requirements into robust, future-proof designs
  • Evaluate the cost-benefit trade-offs of security mechanisms and articulate architectural choices with clarity, confidence, and customer perspective
  • Analyze how different NXP technologies combine to create secure and seamless solutions
  • Stay ahead of disruptive industry trends, including AI/ML, and explore the risks and opportunities they bring to the semiconductor security landscape

Your work will influence the security posture of products deployed at massive scale - and shape how NXP stays ahead in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.

Requirements

  • A Master's degree or a PhD, ideally in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in designing or developing secure systems (embedded systems or complete solutions preferred)
  • Experience with building products for robotics solutions, e-mobility, home and building automation, or healthcare is a strong plus
  • A solid understanding of embedded software design principles
  • Strong communication skills, able to translate complex architectural ideas to stakeholders with different technical backgrounds

At NXP, your ideas will help secure the technologies shaping tomorrow-smart devices, industrial systems, and more. You'll work with world-class experts, influence strategic architecture decisions, and contribute to solutions deployed across global markets.

If you're excited by the challenge of securing the future, we'd love to see you applying.

Please note: The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks. The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary.
