Lead Cybersecurity Researcher - Embedded Systems

Two Six Technologies is looking to add a Lead Cybersecurity Researcher (Embedded Systems) to our team. This role is technical at its core – you will develop new capabilities in program analysis, binary patching, and finding security vulnerabilities in systems. Additionally, you will become a trusted advisor while learning and performing valuable industry skills. 

The ideal candidate should be comfortable with ambiguity and forging your own path; our small team setting will provide you the opportunity for outsized impact. While you will receive extensive training, mentorship, and coaching, you must be comfortable executing against goals independently since there’s no playbook for our innovative research work.

Responsibilities Include:

Take on complex technical problems for which there is often no known answer. 

Develop tools and techniques to assist with tasks that traditionally require significant manual reverse engineering effort

• Binary patching
• Vulnerability research
• Binary fingerprinting

Provide technical leadership and direction on multiple ongoing projects, and interface directly with clients/key stakeholders to present findings and gather design constraints

Communicate your work with detailed written and verbal reports to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Minimum of 5 years of experience with programming/scripting languages (e.g., Go, C, Rust, Python) and Linux
• Minimum of 5 years experience executing cybersecurity principles and a strong interest in learning more
• Experience with static analysis or software reverse engineering
• Familiarity with tools and techniques for binary analysis
• Experience with Binary Ninja or Ghidra API

Nice if you have:

• Experience building or securing embedded devices and other digital systems
• Experience with dynamic analysis, fuzzing techniques, and debugging
• Experience in a client-facing technical role
• Experience with embedded binary reverse engineering (ARM, RTOS, etc.)
• Bachelor’s (or higher) degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field
