Cyber Physical Engineer

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.

It isn't a specialist role carved into a narrow slice. You'll move between software reverse engineering, vulnerability research, tool development, and hands-on hardware. Multi-disciplinary range is the baseline here. A background that spans hardware, software, RF, signal processing, or anywhere else on the engineering map is a feature, not a footnote.

Software reverse engineering and vulnerability research on complex, non-traditional systems

Custom hardware and software tooling to accelerate and automate the analysis workflow

Firmware rehosting and analysis inside high-fidelity, QEMU-based emulation environments

Operating at the lowest levels of software and hardware, often without a reference to work from

Demonstrated experience in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, embedded systems, or adjacent cyber-focused work

Proficiency with Python and C/C++

U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance

Active Top Secret Clearance

Working experience with QEMU, Ghidra, IDA Pro, GDB, x64dbg, or comparable analysis tooling

Experience with CPU emulation, binary instrumentation, or system modeling

Firmware reverse engineering on multiple instruction set architectures

Exposure to fault injection, side-channel analysis, or RF and signal processing

Fluency with hardware: schematic reading, debug interfaces (JTAG, SWD, UART, SPI, I2C), and bench instrumentation

Open source contributions, CTFs, conference talks, or published research

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 grow your career.

We want to work with 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.
