Qrypt's unique technology independently generates symmetric keys at multiple endpoints for critical workflows today. We are a passionate team of engineers, physicists, and cryptographers committed to transforming the way the world safeguards data and communications!

Qrypt is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. The Embedded Software Engineer will own the design, development, and test of digital logic and embedded software.

This position is in Germantown, MD (hybrid — 4 days in office per week)

What you'll do
  • Lead the design, development, and test of systems composing of hardware, digital logic, embedded software, Linux kernel modules, and user-space Linux software
  • Assist in the design, review, and debug of analog/mixed signal circuit boards
  • Develop a deep understanding of the domain (quantum random number generators, network security systems) to architect future products and systems and validate existing products and systems
  • Lead hardware/FPGA/software integration efforts
  • Develop manufacturing and test tools and procedures, and supervise their execution
  • Use AI-assisted and agentic development tooling to accelerate your work while owning the correctness and quality of everything you ship
  • Help shape how the team adopts AI-assisted development (instruction conventions, review standards) as tooling matures
  • Assist in project planning and management
What you'll need
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field, (Math, Physics, Engineering) and/or relevant work experience
  • 4+ years of experience developing software for embedded platforms or the Linux kernel
  • Expertise in the design and development of embedded systems
  • Proficiency with C, C++, bash and/or Python
  • Experience in the installation, upgrade, configuration, and performance tuning of Linux-based servers
  • Experience with bringing up hardware
  • Familiarity with FPGA development, Verilog or VHDL
  • Familiarity with RF and low-noise analog circuit and board design
  • Familiarity with electronics lab/test equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.)
  • Familiarity with implementing signal processing and/or control system algorithms
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development and the judgment to apply it where it adds real leverage — reviewing, correcting, and taking full ownership of AI-generated work
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive Pay & Equity participation
  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage
  • Strong 401(k) match
  • In-office lunch and snacks
  • The opportunity to be part of a company solving one of the most critical technology challenges of our time!
