What is an embedded security?

An Embedded Security job focuses on protecting embedded systems, such as IoT devices, medical equipment, or automotive control units, from cyber threats. Professionals in this role design secure firmware, implement cryptographic protocols, conduct vulnerability assessments, and ensure compliance with security standards. They work closely with hardware and software teams to integrate security features while maintaining performance and reliability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in embedded security?

To thrive in Embedded Security, you need a strong background in embedded systems engineering, knowledge of cryptography, and expertise in securing hardware and firmware, often supported by a degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science. Familiarity with security tools like static code analyzers, secure boot processes, and protocols such as TLS/SSL is common, along with certifications like CISSP or CEH. Excellent problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and strong collaboration skills help set professionals apart. These abilities are crucial for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in embedded devices, ensuring robust protection in increasingly connected and critical environments.

What are some typical challenges encountered in an embedded security role?

Professionals in Embedded Security frequently face the challenge of balancing robust security measures with the resource limitations of embedded devices, such as limited processing power and memory. They may also need to address legacy system integrations, evolving threat landscapes, and compliance with industry-specific security standards. Collaboration with hardware engineers, firmware developers, and product managers is common to ensure security is integrated throughout the development lifecycle. By staying current with emerging vulnerabilities and designing proactive solutions, Embedded Security specialists play a key role in protecting products and end users.

Network Mountain

Manhattan, NY • On-site

Full-time

Job description

We're looking for an experienced Embedded Technician to support access control and security systems at a high profile Midtown Manhattan building.

This is a hands on role for someone who can manage the building, manage their own workload, and communicate clearly with building teams and vendors.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as the primary embedded technician on site.

  • Troubleshoot and maintain access control systems, doors, readers, locks, and related hardware.

  • Manage your own tickets from start to finish. Review the issue in the portal, diagnose the problem, and determine the next step.

  • Coordinate with outside vendors when an issue requires additional support.

  • Communicate status, next steps, and completed work clearly.

  • Keep detailed records and make sure issues don't get lost between teams.

  • Work independently while maintaining a strong relationship with building management and other onsite personnel.

What We're Looking For

  • Lenel/Genetec certified

  • Strong hands on experience with access control systems.

  • Experience troubleshooting door hardware, locks, readers, and related access control equipment.

  • Strong ServiceNow or similar ticket-management experience.

  • Highly organized and detail oriented.

  • Strong written and verbal communication.

  • Able to prioritize and manage your own tickets without constant direction.

  • Comfortable coordinating with locksmiths and other outside vendors.

  • Professional and confident working in a high-expectation corporate environment.

The Environment

This is an embedded position, not a typical service technician role where you're moving from site to site.

You'll be responsible for a specific building and expected to take ownership of issues all the way through resolution. The team has high standards and expects technicians to be organized, responsive, technically capable, and able to communicate well.
