Contract: Permanent | Junior / Early career

Build your career in applied cryptography by learning how the security components inside real products are tested and evaluated.

At DEKRA Digital & Product Solutions, we help technology companies demonstrate that their products meet demanding security requirements. Joining our Cybersecurity Laboratory means working with experienced specialists on the evaluation of software, firmware and hardware cryptographic modules.

You will support projects involving FIPS 140-3 and ISO/IEC 19790, which define security requirements for cryptographic modules: the components that provide functions such as encryption, digital signatures and cryptographic key management.

Previous FIPS 140-3 experience is not required. We welcome recent graduates and early-career professionals with sound technical foundations, curiosity and a methodical approach to problem-solving.

What will your work involve?

This role combines practical testing, technical analysis and detailed reporting.



A significant part of the work involves reading specifications, reviewing evidence and explaining clearly how an implementation meets a requirement. Accuracy, patience and clear writing are central to the job.

Working under the guidance of experienced evaluators, you will:
- Review technical documentation, product architecture and relevant source code to understand how a cryptographic module is designed and operates.
- Help translate security requirements into test activities using the laboratory's procedures and tools.
- Set up test environments, execute tests and investigate unexpected results. Depending on the project, this may include checking authentication, cryptographic key handling, self-tests and error conditions.
- Support cryptographic algorithm testing and develop or adapt scripts to automate tasks and analyse results.
- Identify gaps or inconsistencies between the implementation
