Embedded Development Engineer with Security Clearance

Cohere is looking for software engineers with C/C++ and assembly skills, hands-on knowledge of operating system internals including writing device drivers for current, new, and emerging hardware products centered on the ARM, Intel, and Risc-V processors. You will be working with cutting-edge designs and will be encouraged to dream up unique and elegant solutions as a part of a highly motivated and productive professional team. Any hardware, kernel, knowledge and reverse engineering of low-level CPU and system aspects is a plus. However, we seek individuals that have an appropriate background for obtaining a high-level security clearance. The Role This position is for an Embedded Systems Software Developer position. As an Embedded Systems Software Developer, you develop capabilities in support of operations. Your primary focus will be developing tools and applications that work in both user and kernel space. Requirements and Skills: When assessing candidates for the Embedded Systems Software Developer position, Cohere is looking for candidates with the following knowledge, skills, and abilities: Software - Candidates should be able to demonstrate extensive experience coding in C/C++ and Python, including understanding Object Oriented Programming, Networking (sockets), Multithreading, and implementing cryptographic protocols for data at rest and data in transit. Hardware - You should have some understanding of how operating systems use and leverage hardware protection capabilities and how to use these to prevent a wide range of cyber attack techniques, including stack and heap attacks such as buffer overflows, off by one vulnerabilities, memory leaks, and format string attacks. Reverse Engineering - Any experience using RE tools including both debuggers and disassemblers and/or abilities creating code generation automation tools is also useful. Creative Thinking - as Operating Systems and Hardware evolve, tools that worked before probably will need improvements in the future. Migrating software quickly to new Hardware platforms will require beyond-the-norm abilities.
