Embedded Systems Security Engineer | Secure SoC Architecture
Location: Glasgow
A global leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications is expanding its team. The company is at the forefront of automotive and industrial innovation, and is currently seeking an Embedded Systems Security Engineer to help shape the future of secure SoC architecture.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge security mechanisms and functional hardware/firmware requirements, ensuring next-generation products are resilient against emerging threats.
The Role Drive Security Architecture: Define, link, and integrate innovative security mechanisms into hardware and firmware, balancing power, area, and performance constraints. Vulnerability & Risk Analysis: Coordinate and conduct both pre-silicon and post-silicon vulnerability analyses (VA) and risk assessments. Problem Solving & Root Cause Analysis: Investigate the root cause of security defects and work collaboratively to innovate solutions to complex security issues. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Interface directly with development teams, evaluation labs, and customers, whilst providing security training and advice across design, implementation, and verification phases. Industry Alignment: Stay ahead of industry trends, best practices, and developments within the SoC/IC security landscape.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
