Are you a skilled C-programmer? Are you interested and eager to grow within Cyber Security? Join us as a Software Developer at Westermo?
Westermo is famous for our robust data communication products. To us, quality is everything and we are proud to be creating our market leading products- both hardware and software- on our own. At Westermo, we have developed our own Linux based Operating System for our network products; WeOS. We are now looking for a software developer with a focus on Cyber Security.
Are you our new Software Developer?
At Westermo we develop software for our hardware products- routers and switches- with tough system resource constraints. As a developer of our networking products, you are primarily working on developing our custom Linux OS WeOS. In order to assure the quality of our solutions, we use a risk-based test strategy with an advanced automated test framework. The test framework provides the basis of the risk-based testing that is run every night, to provide feedback to all of our developers.
You will be developing WeOS as well as developing new test cases to verify and validate the changes that you and your team work with. The development of WeOS is done in C and the test cases are implemented in Python. We use tools like Achilles and Nessus to ensure that the basic level of security in our products are known and meets our requirements. In this role, you will have an extra focus on Cyber Security for our software.
The work is largely about evaluating and implementing new technologies and solutions. At Westermo there is always room for initiative and creativity. In addition to working with WeOS development, we expect you to contribute with ideas of improvements to our processes and tools. If you like to develop new solutions, solve problems and develop for the future - then Westermo is the place for you to grow.
So, who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone who is interested in software development and is eager to work with Cyber Security in everything that concerns our products. For this role, you need to have knowledge of data communications, Linux and managing CVEs.
For the Cyber Security part, we are looking for someone who is interested in the area, perhaps you've taken courses, written a thesis work or are into "Capture The Flag" competitions. You have an understanding of how different hardware architectural register sets and memory structures affect software from a security perspective.
Requirements:
- Knowledge and interest in Embedded Systems.
- Knowledge of Network technologies.
- Skilled Linux-user.
- Skilled C-programmer.
