R136327**About the Opportunity****About Khoury College**Khoury College is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community among students, faculty and staff. We strongly encourage applicants from underrepresented groups, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and those with diverse experiences and backgrounds. We invite you to join a fast-moving, ambitious college with an underlying mission that is driven by our motto of “CS for Everyone.”**About the Opportunity**The Security and Privacy Heterogeneous Environment for Reproducible Experimentation (SPHERE) is a newly funded NSF mid-scale research infrastructure being built by USC Information Sciences Institute and Northeastern University Khoury College of Computer Sciences. This research infrastructure will offer access to an unprecedented variety of hardware, software, and other resources, all relevant to cybersecurity and privacy research, connected by user-configurable network substrate, and protected by a set of security policies uniquely aligned with cybersecurity and privacy research needs.We are looking to hire a research engineer to help us build this innovative cyberinfrastructure.
The portion of SPHERE being developed at Northeastern University will focus on Internet of Things (IoT) device experimentation. The main goal is to create the largest remotely-accessible IoT testbed in the world, composed of dozens of samples of IoT devices across several categories (for example, smart speakers, smart TVs, smart cameras, etc.) and manufacturers. The SPHERE IoT testbed, in addition to hosting these IoT devices, will provide programming interfaces for interacting with them across all the modalities that these devices offer, including physical access, companion app access, and voice access. These interfaces will be designed to be accessed remotely so that testbed users can interact with the devices and perform experiments from everywhere in the world and without the need to buy any device or build their own infrastructure. The IoT testbed will be complemented with tools for capturing the network traffic produced by these devices, storing their data securely, integrating with the rest of the SPHERE research infrastructure, and for streamlining automated and repeatable experiments at a scale.This is a unique opportunity for someone to join our vibrant team and work on groundbreaking research in supporting scalable, large-scale virtual access to diverse IoT hardware.This position is on-site in the Boston campus.**Qualifications:*** BS/BEng in Computer Science or a closely related area. This requirement can be waived in case of relevant software development work experience.* Fluency in at least one programming language.* Experience with Linux and software development tools (e.g., git).* A self-starter, resourceful, and able to work both independently and with a team.* Nice-to-haves: experience or interest in system/network administration, IoT, and/or cybersecurity.**Position Type**Research**Additional Information**Northeastern University considers factors such as candidate work experience, education and skills when extending an offer.Northeastern has a comprehensive benefits package for benefit eligible employees.

Posted 30+ Days AgoFounded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experiential lifelong learning. Our approach of integrating real-world experience with education, research, and innovation empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create worldwide impact.Our global university system provides our community and academic, government, and industry partners with unique opportunities to think locally and act globally. The system—which includes 14 campuses across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, 300,000-plus alumni, and 3,000 partners worldwide—serves as a platform for scaling ideas, talent, and solutions.
The university’s residential campuses for undergraduate and graduate degrees are located in Boston, London, and Oakland, California. Our research and graduate campuses are in the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant; Arlington, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Miami; Portland, Maine; Seattle; Silicon Valley, California; Toronto; and Vancouver.Northeastern’s personalized, experiential undergraduate and graduate programs lead to degrees through the doctorate in 10 colleges and schools across our campuses. Learning emphasizes the intersection of data, technology, and human literacies, uniquely preparing graduates for careers of the future and lives of fulfillment and accomplishment.
Our research enterprise, with an R1 Carnegie classification, is solutions oriented and spans the world. Our faculty scholars and students work in teams that cross not just disciplines, but also sectors—aligned around solving today’s highly interconnected global challenges and focused on transformative impact for humankind. #J-18808-Ljbffr
