Job description
Description
We are looking for a highly skilled Security Researcher to join our cyber department. We need a "Hacker-Developer" hybrid who can balance a 50/50 workflow: conducting deep-dive offensive research on complex embedded systems while architecting the sophisticated tools and codebases that power our capabilities.
Responsibilities
1. Offensive Research & Analysis
Vulnerability Research (VR): Conduct deep-dive research into embedded systems to identify exploitable security flaws and potential attack vectors.
Reverse Engineering: Deconstruct complex binary components, firmware, and diagnostic systems to uncover hidden logic and vulnerabilities, with a specific focus on drone technology.
Exploitation & Embedded Instrumentation: Perform in-depth diagnostics of hardware/software interactions, utilizing hooks and custom instrumentation to validate vulnerabilities and demonstrate potential impact.
2. Development & Research Framework
Research Framework Development: Design and build our sophisticated research framework and automation tools tailored for the team’s offensive needs, focusing on custom hooking frameworks and system-level monitoring.
Technical Support for R&D: Serve as a technical bridge for the development teams, providing expert guidance on low-level system behavior and solving complex technical bottlenecks.
Embedded Programming: Write mission-critical, high-efficiency code in low-level environments to support research payloads, specialized hooks, and diagnostic tools.
Requirements
5+ years of proven experience in Embedded Low-Level development.
Expert proficiency in C/C++ and Assembly.
Deep understanding of ARM architecture.
Prior experience working within or alongside an Offensive Cyber Security Research department.
Hands-on experience with RE tools (BinaryNinja, Ghidra, IDA Pro, etc.) and implementing hooks/instrumentation on embedded platforms.
Advantages
Experience with non-standard or proprietary processor architectures.
Familiarity with Cryptography protocols and RF (Radio Frequency) communications.
Graduates of elite IDF technological units (e.g., 81, 8200) – Significant Advantage.
Familiarity with drone flight controllers, PX4, or similar embedded robotics platforms.
