• Job Requirements
• Essential
• PhD in Computer Science,Electrical Engineering, Physics, Cybersecurity, Quantum Information, or a closely related field.
• Strong expertise in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), with demonstrated experience in algorithm design and/or implementation (e.g., ML-KEM/CRYSTALS-Kyber,ML-DSA/CRYSTALS-Dilithium, SLH-DSA/SPHINCS+, FALCON).
• Solid understanding of QKD principles, protocols, and systems (e.g., BB84, E91, CV-QKD), including system-level and operational knowledge.
• Understanding of classical cryptographic primitives and protocols (symmetric/asymmetric encryption, TLS,IPsec, PKI).
• Familiarity with quantum-safe standards and frameworks: NIST PQC (FIPS 203/204/205), ETSI GS QKD, ITU-TX.1702, ISO/IEC.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or Ja
