• Position may require some amount of overnight travel.

Desired Skills:

• Building software for embedded devices and consumer electronics (e.g., ARM, Arduino/Raspberry Pi, Linux, Windows OS, Android, iOS);

• Understanding of OS internals (e.g., Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android);

• Understanding of cyber-physical system operations and security considerations;

• Experience with disassemblers (e.g., IDA pro, Ghidra);

• Experience using debuggers such as gdb or WinDbg;

• Understanding binary or systems reverse engineering;

• TCP/IP networking fundamentals and tools (e.g. iptables, firewalls, tcpdump, wireshark, packet analysis)

• Internet security protocols (e.g. TLS/SSL);

• Experience applying the scientific method to challenging mission problems;

Required Education:
