SecureRF Corporation develops solutions that combine security and cryptography with low resource computing devices. As we bring our secure products to market and develop new security solutions, we are looking for talented people to join our experienced team.

New Contract Position as of June 2010.

Software Engineer with Embedded Experience –

This contract position to work on a strategic project will lead to a FT position for the right person. SecureRF’s development office is in New Haven, CT and the lead hardware engineer for this project is in the Boston area, so you could work in either location.  

Requirements: (Education, training, skills etc.)

• Solid knowledge of C, Java and C++.  Visual Basic experience is a bonus.
• Experience implementing real time communication protocols.
• Experience implementing middleware, especially for RFID systems.
• Experience with Texas Instrument’s MSP430 device is a plus.
