About The Position

ECS is seeking a Cyber Capability Developer (Reverse Engineering) to work in our
Lorton, VA office.

ECS's National Security & Civilian Business unit is seeking a highly motivated
Cyber Capability Developer (Reverse Engineer) to support a mission-focused
portfolio of cyber research and development efforts and the IT infrastructure
that enables them. The purpose of this initiative is to enhance and sustain
capabilities in IT Support, IT Security, IT Services, and Administrative
Compliance that directly underpin complex technical investigations across law
enforcement and intelligence community agencies, where rapid advances in global
communications, data networks, cellular systems, and the Internet technologies
present constant operational challenges. Operating in a highly collaborative,
Agile environment, this program leverages rapid research and development methods
to create solutions to real-world operational problems, with emphasis on device
exploitation, application analysis, and advanced reverse engineering of
software, firmware, and embedded systems.

As a Cyber Capability Developer (Reverse Engineer), you will apply deep reverse
engineering skills to analyze binaries, firmware, and complex systems in support
of cutting-edge cyber capabilities, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation
and mitigation research. You will work closely with security analysts,
developers, and mission stakeholders to uncover vulnerabilities, extract
proprietary algorithms, understand low-level behaviors, and translate technical
findings into actionable operational capabilities and clear, defensible
documentation. Drawing on Agile practices, you will contribute to planning,
execution, and continuous improvement of team workflows—helping drive
efficiency, collaboration, and innovation while rapidly iterating on prototypes
and research outcomes.
