Graduate Program - Embedded Software Development
CLICK HERE TO APPLY
Joining us on the Embedded Software Engineer Graduate Program, you will spend 18 months - starting 1st September 2016 - rotating across three
different teams (6 months each) working on real-time global projects for our current and prospect customers. During each period, you will have an
assigned team-mentor as well as Manager who will guide you and track your progress.
Description of the program:
As our Graduate Embedded Software Engineer you will be working amongst expert, multi-national Engineers in developing software to test against
FPGA boards and/or time critical systems. You will also gain exposure to testing the products and source repositories such as TFS or git.
Programming languages: C, C++, Assembly, Python
Operating System: Linux
Team – Watermarking:
In the digitalization era a lot of commercially valuable material lies within images and video. Irdeto is working on the security of said content!
In this team, you will design, develop and test the possibility to uniquely watermark certain (copyright protected) content in order to prevent piracy. The
challenge is to uniquely watermark a movie without changing the configuration on the client device. Furthermore, we need to ensure that any changes
to the video being distributed illegally do not break the watermark and that the watermark is still detectable. Once the mark has been detected the
source will be identified and switched off as quickly as possible to ensure disruption of the illegal viewing!
On the technology side you’ll become familiar with various IPTV and Broadcast TV media codecs, containers and encoding techniques, time-critical
applications and multitasking. The team will guide you through the software development best practices with the aim to continuously improve &
innovate the product.
Team - Flexicore/Smart card:
Irdeto is at the forefront of guaranteeing our customer’s data safety. Current deployed systems are constantly challenged by (professional) piracy
organizations who try to bypass the improved security systems. As Embedded Software Engineer you will work on several R&D projects that focus on
producing new techniques to ensure the security systems are up-to-date on technological changes, and are designed to withstand current and future
piracy attacks, whilst minimizing the drawbacks for legal consumers of the data!
You will get hands-on exposure to specific microprocessor architectures, the specifications of various peripherals and coprocessors available, the
usage of cryptographic algorithms to build secure systems and defensive coding techniques as countermeasures against intrusions into the devices.
There will be the opportunity to consider one of your rotations to be within one of our other Engineering offices (i.e. Paris). Frequent liaison with our
Engineering teams in Ottawa and Beijing will also occur!
What you will be learning:
How to write (and test) code to develop embedded software within the PayMedia/Broadcast security industry;
In-depth knowledge of microprocessors architectures, cryptographic algorithms, chipset security, IPTV and broadcast media codecs, container and
encoding techniques and time-critical applications;
How to professionally fast-track your programming skills and application of this in a commercial, dynamic and international setting;
How to work efficiently within scrum teams; become a true agile Software Engineer;
Deeper understanding of the latest technologies stacks by being exposed to the newest and most efficient frameworks and tools;
How to grow both personally and professionally and succeed as an Embedded Software Engineer within a leading global Digital Security company!
To be considered as candidate:
On the verge of successfully completing and obtaining a Bachelor's or Master's degree from a recognized educational institution, in the (related) field of
Computer Science, Computer Engineering etc.
Have some programming experience (i.e. C, C++)
Have some understanding of (or passion for!) embedded software engineering, cryptology, algorithms, security industry
To excel you are an open-minded (international mindset), pro-active, passionate, self-starting Engineer and are a great team player!
