Job description

The Threat System Analysis & Defeat Operation offers a unique opportunity to analyze and find vulnerabilities in non-traditional, complex systems. The ideal candidate is a curious engineer who enjoys diving into the details of how things work, why they work that way, and how they will fail. This role will enable you to learn and gain experience in a wide array of engineering and computing disciplines with significant opportunities for deep-dive analytical thinking. Duties include using static and dynamic analysis tools to facilitate reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis efforts. This includes examining software for known and new vulnerabilities, reverse engineering software to understand the impact of vulnerabilities on the operation of the system, creating custom static and dynamic analysis tools for automated analysis, developing tools to analyze and inject datalink messages and other communication protocols, and documenting identified vulnerabilities and their impact in detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Reverse engineer embedded hardware and software with limited reference information
• Extract binary contents from embedded processing systems
• Analyze software binaries and analog circuits
• Generate technical reports and schematics to describe system operation
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to troubleshoot and repair inoperable hardware
• Operate military equipment in laboratory and field test environments to support characterization efforts
• Mentor junior engineers

Required Qualifications

• US Citizenship
• Active Secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance
• 5 years of related engineering experience. At least 2 years of this experience must include military weapon analysis, repair, and/or testing.
• Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering
• Experience generating technical reports and schematics to describe system operation
• Experience extracting binary contents contained within embedded systems
• Experience analyzing, operating, troubleshooting, and repairing military weapons
• Experience characterizing system algorithms from analysis of binaries
• Ability to mentor junior engineers

Desired Qualifications

Experience or familiarity with any of the following:

• Embedded systems analysis
• Assembly languages such as MIPS and ARM
• Programming languages such as C
• Telemetry hardware concepts
• Developing custom software and hardware tools to assist in performing reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis
• Weapon system analysis including digital signal processing and tracking algorithms
• US Intelligence Community or DoW contracting
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams of at least 3-5 engineers
