Experience with reverse engineering and vulnerability research, using tools such as IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, or Ghidra.
Expertise in one or more of the following:
Firmware analysis (ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, RTOS).
Firmware rehosting using emulation tools such as QEMU.
Fuzzing and exploit development.
Binary obfuscation and anti‑analysis techniques.
Wireless protocols and radio signal analysis.
File system forensics and fault injection frameworks.
Nice To Have (Preferred)
Experience in embedded development using C/C++ for RTOS or Linux environments.
Knowledge of cryptographic security and secure boot mechanisms.
Hands‑on experience working with hardware debugging tools, JTAG/SWD, or software‑defined radio (SDR) frameworks.
Familiarity with digital signal processing, RF signal processing, and/or side‑channel analysis.
Client‑facing experience in technical roles.
Security Clearance Active Top Secret clearance required with eligibility/willingness to obtain a TS/SCI.
Compensation Salary range $137,333 - $205,999 USD.
