Embedded Systems Vulnerability Researcher
We are seeking an Embedded Systems Vulnerability Researcher to identify, analyse, and help mitigate security weaknesses in embedded devices, firmware, and connected products. You will investigate vulnerabilities across low-level software and hardware interfaces, develop proof-of-concept exploits, and assess the real-world impact of identified issues. The role involves working across the full research lifecycle, from initial discovery and reverse engineering through technical reporting, remediation guidance, and validation.
Your responsibilities will include performing static and dynamic analysis of firmware, operating systems, bootloaders, drivers, and embedded applications; examining communication protocols and attack surfaces; and using debugging, emulation, fuzzing, and binary analysis techniques to uncover flaws. You will reproduce and triage reported vulnerabilities, create reliable test cases, and collaborate with software, hardware, and product security teams to support secure design and effective remediation. You may also contribute to threat modelling, security assessments, vulnerability disclosure activities, and the development of internal research tools and methodologies.
The successful candidate will have professional experience in embedded security, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, penetration testing, or a closely related discipline. Strong programming skills in C, C++, Python, or similar languages are expected, together with a solid understanding of memory corruption, privilege boundaries, operating systems, and common exploitation techniques. Experience with tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, debuggers, emulators, JTAG, UART, or hardware probing equipment is highly desirable. Familiarity with ARM or MIPS architectures, secure boot, cryptography, networking protocols, and IoT security will be advantageous. You should be curious, methodical, and able to communicate complex technical findings clearly through concise reports and presentations.
