Rogue Talent has been engaged by a world renowned R&D institute in the critical cybersecurity space that tackles key problems in the convergence of cybersecurity and the physical world, focused on developing new capabilities in the areas of hardware / embedded security and cyber / electronics warfare for the DoD, intelligence community, and federal agencies. These positions will require relocation to the Boston area, e.g. Lexington, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Sunbury, etc.
We are hiring for a wide variety of highly-niche security roles in the following capacities: Hardware Security Researcher, RF Analyst / Engineer, and Reverse Engineer / Vulnerability Researcher. The high-caliber candidates we seek are those interested in the inter-disciplinary nature of the cyber-physical problem space and are willing to develop new expertise in the pursuit of solving unconventional problems. Scope & qualifications for Hardware Security Researcher and Cyber Systems Exploitation (aka Hacker!) roles below:
Hardware Security Researcher
You will analyze and prototype capabilities to defend national security electronics from the insertion of malicious logic via compromised design and fabrication processes by prototyping novel sensors and technologies that interact across the cyber and electromagnetic domains. The scope of hardware security research and development activities include developing and assessing novel hardware design analysis and sensing techniques, advanced circuit obfuscation techniques, and hardware evaluation techniques.
Qualifications:
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field, or a Bachelor's degree and 3+ years of directly-related experience with demonstrated domain expertise
Proficiency in hardware-description languages for digital logic, such as Verilog
Proficiency in high-level scripting languages such as Python
Demonstrated effective oral and written communication skills
Thorough understanding of computing architecture design, instruction-set architectures, and operating-system internals
Familiarity with digital logic workflows for both field-programmable gate arrays (FGPAs) and application-specific
integrated circuits (ASICs)
Familiarity with cybersecurity problems and the role of hardware in enforcing security properties of cyber systems
Reverse Engineer / Vulnerability Researcher
You will develop novel capabilities against cyber-physical systems. The scope of your work in cyber-physical R&D will include demonstrating and assessing unexpected attack vectors, emulating potential attacker behaviors and capabilities, and developing novel defensive techniques for DoD and other government systems.
Qualifications:
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field, or a Bachelor's degree and 3+ years of directly-related experience with demonstrated domain expertise
Proficiency in hardware and software reverse-engineering and exploitation techniques, including common tools such as IDA Pro or Ghidra
Proficiency in high-level scripting languages such as Python, and low-level embedded system programming such as C
OS kernel and/or driver development
Experience with uncommon architectures and embedded systems
Thorough understanding of cybersecurity technical challenges especially as they relate to sensors, emitters, controllers, and embedded systems
Proficiency in Machine Learning / AI
