Firmware Test Engineer, Secure Domain

About the job

Join our R&D organisation in Oulu and help us verify the embedded firmware that keeps Nordic's chips secure. The secure domain

firmware is low-level code running on the chip itself: it is the first thing that executes when the device powers up and the

foundation everything else relies on, covering secure boot, device lifecycle, firmware updates and key handling. Making sure it

behaves correctly, every time, is what this role is about.

As a Firmware Test Engineer you will build and run the automated tests and CI pipelines that catch problems before they reach

silicon or customers. The code under test runs on resource-constrained hardware, and much of your test code runs on the target

alongside it. You will work closely with the firmware developers who own the code you are testing. This is a good opportunity for

someone early in their career: we care more about your testing mindset, your programming skills and your curiosity than about the

number of years on your CV, and you will have experienced colleagues around you to learn from.

Key responsibilities

• Write and maintain automated tests for secure domain firmware, from unit level up to tests running on real silicon.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

A study track or specialisation in cyber security or information security is a plus.

The ideal candidate is systematic and curious, and enjoys the detective work of figuring out why something failed. You are not

satisfied with "it works on my machine", and you like automating the boring parts away. You communicate clearly, ask questions

when something is unclear, and are eager to learn about embedded systems and security from the people around you.

Working at Nordic, you will be inspired and supported to develop yourself. Our teams enjoy a professional and informal working

environment. We value and encourage the continuous development of skills and expertise to the highest levels. We are proud of our

Norwegian heritage, our highly skilled international workforce, and our world-leading innovation.

We offer a variety of tasks and projects, and the possibility to work alongside some of the world’s most renowned experts within

their field. We encourage our employees to question the established and innovate while expecting professionalism, commitment, and

the will to learn.
