• Experience in security research, firmware analysis, or CTF-style binary challenges is highly relevant
• Exposure to other Reverse engineering tools (Ghidra, Binary Ninja, Radare2) is also valued

Microcontroller & Embedded Systems

• Experience programming or analysing code for bare-metal microcontrollers
• Understanding of microcontroller memory maps, register layouts, interupts and calling conventions
• Ability to read and interpret disassembled assembly code across common embedded architectures

Pattern Matching & Binary Search

• Experience with advanced binary searching and hex editing tools (e.g. HxD, 010 Editor, or equivalent)
• Ability to identify and generalise repeating data structures across firmware variants
• Experience writing scripts or tools to automate pattern detection across large binary datasets

Preferred Skills/expertise

• Experience in bare-metal C programming for microcontrollers.
• Hands-on microcontroller programming experience, particularly with RH850, SH70xx, M32R, M16C, or similar architectures.
• Experience with ECU map identification tools such as WinOLS.
• Experience with binary editing and analysis tools such as HxD.
