The Weapon Systems and Cyber Analysis Division and the Weapon Systems and Cyber Defeat Division offers a unique opportunity to analyze and find vulnerabilities in non-traditional, complex systems. The ideal candidate is a curious engineer or scientist who enjoys diving into the details of how things work, why they work that way, and how they will fail. This role will enable you to learn and gain experience in a wide array of engineering and computing disciplines with significant opportunities for deep-dive analytical thinking. Duties include using static and dynamic analysis tools to facilitate reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis efforts. This includes examining software for known and new vulnerabilities, reverse engineering software to understand the impact of vulnerabilities on the operation of the system, creating custom static and dynamic analysis tools for automated analysis, developing tools to analyze and inject datalink messages and other communication protocols, and documenting identified vulnerabilities and their impact in detail.
