PCI PTS Security Evaluator

Payment terminals and secure hardware devices are at the core of todays financial ecosystem. These devices process highly sensitive information such as cardholder data PINs and cryptographic keys. Ensuring they meet stringent global security requirementssuch as PCI PTSis essential to safeguarding trust in electronic payments.

We are looking for PCI PTS Security Evaluators who are passionate about hardware and logical security. Whether you are an experienced security professional or a recent graduate eager to enter the field of hardware penetration testing we welcome curiosity technical drive and a willingness to explore advanced attack techniques.

Qualifications :

As a PCI PTS Security Evaluator you will join a multidisciplinary team of international experts assessing the security of payment terminals and secure hardware modules. Your work will focus primarily on hardware penetration testing logical security testing and tamperresistance evaluation in line with PCI PTS and related security standards.

You will:

• Analyse payment terminal architectures security modules and embedded systems.
• Perform handson hardware penetration testing using techniques such as sidechannel analysis invasive and semiinvasive attacks and circuitlevel probing.
• Conduct logical security testing including secure boot validation key management verification firmware inspection and interface/communication protocol testing.
• Perform firmware code reviews to assess secure coding practices cryptographic implementations and compliance with PCI PTS requirements
• Use laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes and power analysis setups as well as simple physical tools such as drills milling tools and other basic mechanical instruments used in tamperresistance testing.
• Document attack paths assess exploit feasibility and evaluate compliance with PCI PTS requirements.
• Contribute to internal R&D by researching emerging attack vectors developing new tooling and improving evaluation methodologies.

Your Hard Skills

• Technical degree (BSc MSc or PhD) in Computer Science Electrical Engineering Embedded Systems Physics Mathematics or equivalent practical experience in hardware or embedded security.
• Experience or strong interest in hardware security techniques such as Boardlevel probing and debugging (JTAG SWD UART).
• Familiarity with logical security testing secure firmware design cryptographic implementations and secure boot chains.
• Knowledge of cryptographic protocols authentication mechanisms tamper protections and attack countermeasures is highly desirable.
• A willingness to learn rapidly in a field that evolves continuously.

Your Soft Skills

• You can work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
• You are persistent creative and resourcefulessential traits for hardware penetration testing where bypassing protections requires experimentation and ingenuity.
• You enjoy learning new concepts and staying informed on the latest research standards and attack techniques.
• You appreciate structured teamwork coupled with personal accountabilitysecurity evaluation relies heavily on transparent cooperation.
• You are able to write clear detailed technical evaluation reports in English.
