  • Expertise in assembly languages such as ARM, MIPS, or x86
  • Experience with advanced binary analysis tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra, or Binary Ninja
  • Curiosity and high self-initiative in a research-heavy environment
  • Ability to lead, mentor, and guide junior researchers
  • Familiarity with firmware security, cryptography, and hardware-software interfaces such as I2C, UART, SPI
  • Active security clearance preferred or the ability to obtain one
