Waterloo, Canada Palitronica Inc. Full time

The proliferation of connected electronics in critical infrastructure and rising geopolitical tensions creates new risks and uncertainties that pose a monumental threat to national security. Ransomware attacks on oil pipelines, breaches of control centers of nuclear power plants, and tampering of factory computer systems to destroy production are heralds of the future. It is necessary and urgent to retrofit critical infrastructure with security controls to defend against current and future attacks.


At Palitronica, we build cutting-edge hardware and breakthrough software that revolutionizes how we defend critical infrastructure and key resources. We are solving some of the most challenging problems facing national security. We leverage a wide range of technologies in our products including IoT protocols, cloud services, serverless functions, progressive web applications, big data, and machine learning.


We are looking for a Lead Hardware Engineer to complement our team. If you believe in our mission and are ready to create incredible impact, join us.
