Researcher of PQC Cryptography and Standards

You will be joining an industry leading consumer technology brand working on cutting-edge technology.

Hiring motivated Senior and Junior consultancy in PQC, Cryptography and Standardization. Candidates should have solid knowledge in cryptographic algorithms and security protocols and rich experience for standardizing cryptographic algorithms and/or security protocols in international bodies (IETF, ISO, IEEE etc). Successful candidate will join a team of cryptographic experts to conduct world-class research in PQC and applied cryptography. They will participate in the analysis of emerging security threats, design innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

Formulate research problems based on real-world security requirements and independently conduct high-quality research.

• Design innovative solutions according to security requirements from product lines while fulfilling various constraints imposed by aspects such as compliance, manufacturing process, hardware capability, performance, cost, etc.
• Design and develop prototypes; deliver research results and provide competitive solutions.
• Standardize cryptographic algorithms and security protocols at international bodies.
• Develop standardizing plans and collaborate with colleagues for standardization activities.
• Participate and standardize related technologies in cryptographic algorithms and security protocols at various international bodies, including IETF, ISO, and IEEE.
• Prepare standardization documents, and develop running code when necessary.
• Work on Intellectual Property (i.e. patents).
• Develop collaborations with industry peers and academia.

Desired Skills and Experience

• Hold M.Sc or Ph.D. degree in Mathematics, Cryptography, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Have one or more years of work experience in areas related to information security and/or applied cryptography and/or PQC.
• Rich standardization experience in international bodies, like IETF, ISO, IEEE, ETSI.
• Solid skills in at least one programming language, like C, C++, Java, Python, or shell scripts.
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills in English.
• Self-motivated with strong sense of responsibility.
• Strong interpersonal and problem solving skills.
