Job Summary
We are seeking a highly curious and analytical engineer or scientist to support advanced threat system analysis and defeat operations. This role focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in complex non-traditional weapon and cyber systems through in-depth technical analysis and reverse engineering. The position offers broad exposure across engineering and computing disciplines with strong opportunities for deep technical investigation and hands-on vulnerability research.
The successful candidate will analyze how systems operate why they are designed the way they are and how they may fail. Responsibilities include performing static and dynamic analysis reverse engineering software and hardware developing custom analysis tools examining communication protocols and documenting vulnerabilities and their operational impact in detail.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct static and dynamic analysis to support reverse engineering and vulnerability assessment of complex systems
Analyze software for known and novel vulnerabilities and assess their operational impact
Reverse engineer software firmware hardware and communication protocols to understand system behavior and failure modes
Develop custom static and dynamic analysis tools to support automated vulnerability discovery
Create tools to analyze manipulate and inject datalink messages and other communication protocols
Document identified vulnerabilities exploitation paths and system-level impacts in a clear and detailed manner
