Seeking an Embedded Hardware Security Engineer, Mid local to the Quantico, VA area.
TS clearance is required.
The Opportunity:
As an electrical engineer, you understand the workings behind complex systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to evaluating hardware security implementation in embedded electronics. We’re looking for an electrical engineer who can use their skills to support law enforcement by creating new forensic tools and investigative capabilities.
Here you’ll use your engineering skills to transform law enforcement. Our team builds digital forensics for investigators to recover user data from electronic devices. That’s why we need you, an electrical engineer with an understanding of embedded system design, mobile platforms and architecture, and hardware security concepts to help us design and develop techniques for testing memory subsystems, security subsystems, and debugging interfaces on electronic devices.
On our team, you’ll be part of a mission-oriented engineering group challenged to do the impossible and recover data that may be protected or deleted. You’ll impact criminal, counter-threat, and counter-intelligence investigations by applying failure analysis, glitching, and side-channel analysis techniques to reverse engineer embedded systems. This is a chance to use your range of embedded systems development and test skills while gaining experience in fault injection, failure analysis, and reverse engineering.
Take on exciting challenges in digital forensics with us as we create the tools for cutting-edge investigative capabilities for law enforcement.
You Have:
- 1+ years of experience in software development with C, C++, or python
- 1+ years of experience with embedded systems development, including firmware development, bare-metal programming, FPGA development, and JTAG
