Cyber Hardware Reverse Engineer

Quick Facts

• Clearance: Active Top Secret/SCI
• Travel: Up to 25% (local)

Description

Work on national-security cyber and hardware challenges using hardware reverse engineering and digital signal processing. You will investigate embedded software/hardware devices, analyze digital communication implementations, reverse engineer embedded binaries, and investigate RF data to identify system behavior. You’ll manage multiple R&D efforts in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment.

Responsibilities

• Teardown, investigate, and document embedded hardware devices/software; analyze inherent communication implementations
• Analyze systems and hardware devices to determine behavior and potential access vectors for exploitation
• Investigate RF communication capabilities of hardware systems
• Participate in technical reviews of requirements, specifications, designs, code, and other artifacts
• Create documentation outlining results of exploitation efforts

Requirements

• Active Top Secret/SCI clearance
• BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Aerospace Engineering (ABET/EAC accredited)
• 5+ years experience in digital signal processing development, reverse engineering, embedded software development, and/or FPGA engineering
• 7+ years experience developing or reverse-engineering FPGAs using HDL (VHDL and/or Verilog) and simulation tools (e.g., Modelsim, Questasim)
• Experience with embedded interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO
• Experience using in-circuit debuggers/programmers: JTAG and/or Serial-wire (SWD)
• Programming experience in Python, C, and/or C++

Benefits

• Flexible time off and a culture focused on integrity, trust, and continuous growth
• Access to robust learning resources and continuing education opportunities
• Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, wellness, financial, retirement, family support, and time off
