About The Position

The candidate will be primarily focused on conducting hardware and subsequent software analysis and exploitation for the purposes of technical exploitation opportunities and enablement of examination of high priority digital media and other hardware platforms. The focus will be on reverse engineering, failure analysis, and vulnerability analysis of provided systems via static and/or dynamic tools and techniques. Enablement of potential further analysis, repeatable exploitation processes, and technical reporting are also part of day-to-day activities. Embedded application design and testing for the examined platforms will also be performed.
