Senior Reverse Engineer, CyberActive$253K

Anduril Cyber is hiring a Reverse Engineer to analyze complex hardware and software systems, recover how they work from first principles, and turn that understanding into actionable security research. The role is centered on deep technical investigation across firmware, embedded…

What you'll do

• Reverse engineer firmware, binaries, embedded software, protocols, hardware: interfaces, and system integrations to understand behavior, trust boundaries, and attack surface.

• Build repeatable analysis workflows using static analysis, dynamic: instrumentation, emulation, fuzzing harnesses, hardware debug interfaces, and custom tooling.

• Recover undocumented formats, control flows, communication protocols, update: mechanisms, boot chains, and security-relevant implementation details.

• Identify weaknesses in software, firmware, and hardware/software boundaries,: then document findings clearly enough to drive follow-on vulnerability research, mitigation, or exploitation work.

• Work with vulnerability researchers, embedded software engineers, hardware: engineers, and systems teams to translate reverse-engineering findings into concrete engineering decisions.

• Produce high-quality technical writeups, diagrams, tooling, and reproducible: artifacts that other researchers and engineers can build on.

What they're looking for

• Perform board-level and component-level reverse engineering, including: teardown, interface discovery, instrumentation, and protocol analysis across embedded targets.
• Develop software and lab automation to orchestrate experiments, collect: measurements, control instruments, and make hardware analysis repeatable.
• Strong experience reverse engineering compiled software, firmware, embedded: Linux systems, drivers, bootloaders, protocols, or hardware-adjacent systems.
• Proficiency with reverse-engineering tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Binary: Ninja, radare2, gdb/lldb, QEMU, Unicorn, Frida, or comparable analysis frameworks.
