Reverse Engineer Intern
Reverse Engineer Intern Project Overview As a Reverse Engineer Intern, you will join a dynamic team focused on rapidly characterizing and exploiting low-equity commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drones. The project centers on dissecting and understanding on-board communications hardware and protocols, supporting the development of electronic support capabilities crucial for modern battlefield network technologies. Your work will directly contribute to research and operational solutions for counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) and autonomous drone activities. Key Responsibilities
- Identify the most common components among low-cost drone manufacturers.
- Characterize the standard architecture of loitering munitions, low-cost ISR drones, and light attack drones.
- Perform hardware reverse engineering to identify on-board components.
- Extract system binaries from drone communications devices.
- Analyze and characterize the communications protocols of on-board mesh communications devices.
- Develop communications protocol parsers for baseline electronic support capability.
- Rehost communications binaries in an emulated environment to validate parser functionality.
- Document findings and present results to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and contribute to follow-on research and transition to operational use.
- Gain hands-on experience with hardware and protocol reverse engineering in a national security context.
- Develop and apply skills in embedded systems, protocol analysis, and vulnerability identification.
- Contribute to solutions that address rapidly growing customer needs for CUAS technology and battlefield communications security.
- Work with real-world COTS drones and, where available, higher-end mesh radios.
- Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Familiarity with computer architecture, operating systems, and software development principles.
- Exposure to programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or assembly.
- Interest in hardware reverse engineering, embedded systems, or communications protocols.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
- Experience with reverse engineering tools (e.g., IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja).
- Coursework or hands-on experience with embedded systems, firmware analysis, or network protocols.
- Familiarity with debugging tools and techniques.
- Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies quickly and adapt to a fast-paced environment.
