• 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

• 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
