Job summary

Integration Innovation, Inc. is seeking a senior reverse engineering engineer in the Washington, DC area to deconstruct compiled software and firmware, map interfaces, and drive actionable engineering outcomes. You will build Python/C++ tooling, evaluate telemetry, and document findings for technical reviews.

The role requires 5+ years of experience in low-level analysis, proficiency with IDA Pro/Ghidra/Binary Ninja, and hands-on work with embedded interfaces like UART/JTAG/SWD.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or higher in Computer Engineering, CS, EE or Physics.
• 5+ years in reverse engineering, binary/firmware analysis or malware analysis.
• Experience with disassemblers and debuggers (IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja; WinDbg/gdb/ll db).
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python; assembly knowledge (x86/x64, ARM).
• Experience with embedded systems and interfaces (UART/JTAG/SWD; SPI/I2C) and telemetry logs.

Responsibilities

• Reverse engineer compiled software/firmware to understand behavior and system interfaces.
• Develop and maintain tooling/scripts (primarily Python and C/C++) to automate analysis and validate hypotheses.
• Design lightweight test/instrumentation software to control assets and collect telemetry.
• Document findings in technical reports with diagrams, evidence and next steps.
• Collaborate with EW, RF/DSP, embedded and test engineers to translate results into decisions.

Job description

Pay Range $115,000 - $181,000 The pay range for this position is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, geographic location, and any applicable laws.

Responsibilities * Reverse engineer compiled software and firmware to understand behavior, interfaces, and system-level implementation.

• Use static and dynamic analysis (disassembly, debugging, tracing, emulation) to map control flow, data structures, protocols, and algorithms.
• Develop and maintain custom tools/scripts (primarily Python and C/C++) to automate analysis, extract parameters, and validate hypotheses.
• Design and implement lightweight test & instrumentation software to control assets, collect telemetry, and support test and evaluation events.
• Document findings in clear technical reports, including diagrams, evidence, limitations, and recommended next steps.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary engineers (EW, RF/DSP, embedded, test) to translate reverse-engineering results into actionable engineering decisions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in reverse engineering, binary analysis, malware analysis, or low-level software/firmware analysis.
• Hands-on experience with disassemblers and debuggers (e.g., IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja; WinDbg/gdb/lldb).
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python; working knowledge of assembly (x86/x64, ARM, or similar).
• Experience with embedded systems and common interfaces (e.g., UART/JTAG/SWD; SPI/I2C) and interpreting logs/telemetry.
• Ability to communicate technical findings effectively in writing and in technical reviews.

Nice to have

• Experience with EW systems, RF/DSP concepts, or signal-processing-driven software.
• Experience with FPGA/DSP-adjacent development, hardware/software integration, or test automation for lab/field systems.
• Experience producing customer-facing reports and briefings.
