Senior Secure Provisioning Software Engineer at NXP… · Brno

Ready to join the future of innovation in our team at NXP?

You will join a team responsible for Secure Provisioning SDK (SPSDK), a unified Python‑based platform used across NXP’s MCU and application processor portfolio. SPSDK provides essential tooling for secure device provisioning, configuration, boot preparation, lifecycle control, and security‑critical operations, supporting devices from early prototyping through production deployment.

SPSDK is used not only by software developers, but also in automated CI environments, manufacturing, and customer production flows. The solutions you work on must therefore be robust, secure, auditable, and safe by design, as they directly interact with the most sensitive parts of the device such as bootloaders, ROM, keys, fuses, and lifecycle states.

In this senior role, you will take end‑to‑end ownership of selected parts of the SPSDK platform. You will design, implement, and evolve secure provisioning workflows, APIs, and command‑line tools, balancing security, usability, and long‑term maintainability, and taking responsibility for technical decisions within your area.

Your work will span multiple layers, including low‑level device communication, secure boot image preparation, cryptography and key management, lifecycle configuration, and Python‑based tooling and reusable APIs.

Your team

By joining our Czech team, you will become part of a high‑performance and enthusiastic software development team working on Secure Provisioning SDK (SPSDK).

The team operates in a friendly and dynamic work environment, while delivering solutions used in real production scenarios.

You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of NXP teams, including system and firmware teams, silicon and security experts, and product stakeholders, contributing to solutions that span from early development to manufacturing and customer deployment. The role offers strong exposure to cross‑functional collaboration, where feedback, discussion, and proposing technically sound solutions are part of everyday work.

The team values technical ownership, open communication, and shared responsibility. Engineers are encouraged to take initiative, think beyond their immediate tasks, and contribute to improving both the platform and the way the team works together.

Your responsibilities:

Take end‑to‑end technical ownership of selected parts of the Secure Provisioning SDK (SPSDK), including design, implementation, and long‑term maintenance.

Design and evolve secure provisioning, configuration, and device lifecycle workflows.

Develop and maintain Python‑based command‑line tools and reusable APIs, with a strong focus on robustness, security, and long‑term maintainability.

Enable reliable and secure interaction with devices at low level, including communication with boot ROMs and bootloaders.

Contribute to secure boot image preparation, cryptographic operations, and key, credential, and lifecycle state handling.

Independently make technical and security‑relevant decisions and take responsibility for their outcomes.

Collaborate with firmware, silicon, security architecture, and product teams, providing technical input and explaining trade‑offs.

Mentor less experienced engineers, review designs and implementations, and contribute to shared engineering best practices.

Your profile:

Strong background in software engineering, with experience building production‑grade tools or platforms.

Practical experience with secure boot, device provisioning, Root of Trust concepts, or device lifecycle security.

Solid experience with Python, used for developing robust command‑line tools, SDKs, or automation.

Ability to work confidently with low‑level device concepts, such as boot ROMs, bootloaders, memory configuration, fuses, keys, credentials, and lifecycle states.

Experience with or strong interest in modern secure firmware architectures, including areas such as measured boot, attestation, or identity management; exposure to firmware written in Rust is a strong advantage.

Proven ability to work independently, exercise sound technical judgement, and take responsibility for decisions and outcomes.

Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines, explain technical trade‑offs, and act as a trusted technical partner.

A proactive mindset and motivation to mentor less experienced engineers and contribute to shared engineering best practices.
