🚀 Embedded Systems Security Researcher (Freelance)

At Shakers, we’re looking for a freelance Embedded Systems Security Researcher to join an advanced R&D cybersecurity project for an Italian tech company working on embedded and IoT security research.

This is a hands‑on, research‑driven role focused on real devices, real vulnerabilities and PoC development — not compliance or paperwork.

What you’ll do

• Security research on Embedded and IoT devices
• Firmware analysis and vulnerability research on ARM / x86 systems
• Low‑level debugging on embedded systems (ASM / C)
• Reverse engineering of embedded software and hardware
• Development of Proofs of Concept (PoCs) for identified vulnerabilities
• Technical documentation and research reporting of findings

What we’re looking for

• Hands‑on experience in Embedded / IoT security research
• Strong experience in reverse engineering on ARM and/or x86 architectures
• Proven low‑level debugging experience on embedded systems
• Basic knowledge of embedded radio technologies (LTE, WiFi, LoRa)
• Good command of English (written and spoken)
• Research‑oriented mindset and ability to collaborate in an R&D environment

Nice to have

• Python for tooling / automation
• Experience with hardware reverse engineering tools
• (JTAG, BusPirate, ChipWhisperer, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
• Freelance collaboration via Shakers

Why this project

• Real embedded security research
• Work with physical devices and advanced labs
• Collaboration with senior security researchers
