Senior security engineer responsible for conducting comprehensive vulnerability assessments across OT/IT infrastructure at a water utility, including PLCs, SCADA systems, HMIs, network devices, and remote telemetry sites. Will evaluate architecture, network segmentation, boundary security, remote/vendor access controls, patch management, and governance practices against industry standards (IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82).…See more Deliverables include risk-rated findings, prioritized remediation roadmaps, and executive-level reporting. Requires 6+ years cybersecurity experience with at least 3 years hands-on OT/ICS work and completion of at least two end-to-end OT security assessments.

As a Principal Software Reverse Engineer, you will perform advanced reverse engineering on complex software and firmware targets across Windows, Linux, and embedded systems, developing automated binary analysis tools to characterize protocols and functionality. You will lead multi-discipline technical teams, conduct vulnerability research and exploit development, and present findings to customers and leadership.…See more This role requires 15+ years of hands-on experience with disassembly tools (IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, Ghidra), proficiency in Assembly languages (x86, ARM) and programming languages (C/C++, Python), and deep expertise in exploitation, cybersecurity solutions, and firmware analysis.

The Cybersecurity Analyst will serve as a technical subject matter expert evaluating the cybersecurity posture of drone systems and components submitted to the Blue UAS Cleared List Program. You will review assessment reports, identify vulnerabilities and residual risks, validate remediation plans, and provide technical recommendations on compliance with NIST frameworks and DoD Risk Management Framework requirements.…See more The role requires expertise in embedded systems security, firmware analysis, wireless communications, encryption, authentication, and supply chain security. You must hold an active DoD 8570/8140 IAM or IAT Level II/III certification (CISSP, CISM, or Security+) and demonstrate proficiency with NIST SP 800-53 and NIST SP 800-161.

Build emulation frameworks and tools for cyber-physical systems, extending platforms like QEMU in C/C++ and Python to support new embedded architectures (ARM, PPC, etc.). Rehost and reverse-engineer unknown firmware by analyzing binaries and hardware dependencies, then develop virtual device models and digital simulations validated against real hardware behavior.…See more Work within a small focused team on architecture, implementation, testing, and technical documentation of modular emulation software.
