Job description
Overview
We are seeking a Cyber Physical Engineer role spanning software and hardware reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and custom tool development.
Description
This role is built for an engineer who moves between software and hardware without waiting for a handoff. You'll reverse engineer complex systems, find what's exploitable, build the tools that make that work possible, and turn what we learn into capabilities that matter. We're looking for someone as comfortable in a disassembler as they are with a logic analyzer. This isn't a narrow specialist role. You'll work across software reverse engineering, vulnerability research, tool development, and hands-on hardware. Curiosity about how cyber connects to other disciplines is the baseline here. If you've also worked in hardware, RF, signal processing, AI, or another engineering field, we want to hear about it.
What You'll Work On
Software reverse engineering and vulnerability research on complex, non-traditional systems
Firmware rehosting and analysis inside high-fidelity, QEMU-based emulation environments
Custom hardware and software tooling to accelerate and automate the analysis workflow
Operating at the lowest levels of software and hardware, often without a reference to work from
Required
Demonstrated experience in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, embedded systems, or adjacent cyber-focused work
Curiosity and passion for tackling complex multi-disciplinary problems across the cyber physical space
Proficiency with Python and C/C++
U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance
Preferred
Active Top Secret Clearance
Working experience with QEMU, Ghidra, GDB, x64dbg, or similar analysis tooling
Experience with CPU emulation, binary instrumentation, or system modeling
Firmware reverse engineering on multiple instruction set architectures
Exposure to fault injection or side-channel analysis
Interest in RF, Software Defined Radio (SDR), or signal processing algorithms
Fluency with hardware: schematic reading, debug interfaces (JTAG, SWD, SPI, I2C), and bench instrumentation
Open source contributions, CTFs, conference talks, or published research
Why Join Us
We’re a fast-moving startup team, not a large defense contractor. That means your contributions will matter, your ideas will be heard, and you’ll see the results of your work. You’ll have opportunities to work alongside an awesome team, venture into new technical areas, and accelerate your career.
We want to work with driven people who are motivated by solving hard problems, aren't afraid to think outside the box, and have a non-stop desire to keep learning. We are proud to offer some of the best benefits in the industry to attract and retain top talent.
