Research Engineer (Cryptography/Security)

Here at MachineFi Lab, we’re building tomorrow’s internet today and powering the new reward economy by creating a fairer / safer / and more rewarding internet of things! MachineFi is a new paradigm that underpins the future Web3 machine economy, where machine resources, services, and intelligence can be monetized/financialized to deliver value, control, and ownership to everyday people and businesses, not centralized corporations. If you’re a maverick, a digital renegade, one of those who say no to the status quo, a person crazy enough to think you can change the world, then MachineFi is for you. We are seeking research engineers with solid research background and strong development skills in IoT security to join our research team. As a research engineer in IoT security, you will lead various decentralized IoT research projects, build IoT proof of concepts (PoCs) and/or full-fledged products, and collaborate with the product team for building innovative MachineFi solutions. You will have the opportunity and responsibility to build MachineFi Lab’s long-term vision of powering billions of devices and decentralized applications across the physical and digital world.

Key Responsibilities

- Conduct research in multiple IoT security areas, including, but not limited to, hardware root-of-trust (e.g., TPM, secure element, etc. ), secure operating system, decentralized security architecture, Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), secure boot, over-the-air update   - Write technical reports and/or research articles when possible and present research findings at industry or academic events Build IoT prototypes and/or products by collaborating with business partners and engineers - Collaborate with the product team integrating IoT hardware into production-ready blockchain&IoT solutions - Engage and participate in activities in industry consortiums and standardization bodies Collaborate with researchers and engineers both within and outside of MachineFi Lab to work towards building cutting-edge blockchain&IoT solutions

Requirements

About Us

Here at MachineFi Lab, we’re building tomorrow’s internet today and powering the new reward economy by creating a fairer / safer / and more rewarding internet. We’re here to challenge the status quo and push society forward. We're shifting control of the internet away from big tech and back into the hands of everyday people around the world. And we’re building this new reality right now, today, as our full stack infrastructure is primed for rapid and accelerated growth. We’re about to fast forward real-world adoption and ignite the $12tn reward economy. From smart homes to wearable to connected vehicles and renewable energy, the IoT is now impacting everyone and everything. And this real-world data (generated by IoT) will change everything for blockchain… We’re building a world where everyday people can own and control their devices as well as the data and value these devices generate, we’re democratizing access to the new machine economy and returning power to the people. Founded by a global team of research scientists and top engineers, these disruptors have a restless thirst for innovation… Building on this, MachineFi Lab has rapidly expanded its team, adding industry-leading talent who were compelled to join the revolution. So, if you’re a maverick, a digital renegade, one of those who say no to the status quo, a person crazy enough to think you can change the world, then MachineFi Lab is for you.
