Cryptographic IP cores and security software for embedded and edge devices
FortifyIQ designs hardware and software cryptography for IoT, industrial, and AI systems—combining traditional algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC) with post-quantum variants, hardened against physical attacks at the silicon level. The hiring profile is heavily sales-skewed (147 roles open across a 50-person org), with aggressive global geographic expansion underway across Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America, signaling a pivot from IP engineering to revenue growth and market penetration.

FortifyIQ develops certifiable cryptographic IP cores in SystemVerilog/VHDL and accompanying software libraries for secure-boot and key-management use cases. Products span smart cards, IoT nodes, AI accelerators, and cloud systems, and are validated using proprietary EDA tools and formal proofs. The company was founded in 2019 and remains privately held, headquartered in Salem, Massachusetts. Active projects include cryptographic algorithm co-design, UVM-based hardware verification, and go-to-market expansion across new territories.
FortifyIQ provides traditional algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, HMAC-SHA2) alongside post-quantum cryptography (PQC) variants, with hardware IP and software libraries both implementing side-channel attack and fault-injection countermeasures.
Design: SystemVerilog, VHDL, Verilog, Questa, Xcelium, UVM. Development: Python, C/C++, Tcl, Perl. Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP. Data: Apache Airflow, Spark, Pandas, NumPy, SQL. Simulation/formal: Intel, AMD tools. CI/CD: Jenkins, Git.
FortifyIQ is hiring across 24 countries, concentrated in the United States, Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan), and Canada.
