Job description

Principal Firmware Reverse Engineer 3 - (Reverse Engineering, Firmware, AI)

Clearance: TS/SCI - Polygraph required
Position ID: 20-25-005-SWE3
Location: Annapolis Junction, Maryland

Description:

This Software Engineer will bring strong reverse engineering skills to a team building automation and AI-assisted tools for RE and dev workflows. You'll help evolve how reverse engineers work — combining binary analysis, disassembly, and workflow optimization with emerging AI techniques — and grow your AI/LLM expertise along the way.

  • Design and build tooling enhancements for RE workflows.
  • Experiment with autonomous or semi-autonomous agents to support development.
  • Automate common RE tasks, including analysis and documentation.
  • Apply AI-assisted techniques to binary analysis, annotation, and pattern identification.
  • Work directly with customers and teammates to shape and refine solutions.
  • Measure and document the effectiveness of tooling improvements.

Position Required Skills:

  • Hands-on experience with RE tools such as Ghidra or IDA Pro.
  • Strong understanding of low-level concepts: assembly, binaries, memory, calling conventions.
  • Reverse engineering Linux-based network devices or embedded systems.
  • Familiarity with firmware analysis, bootloaders, and networking protocols.
  • Curiosity about AI/LLMs and some hands-on dabbling — ready to deepen that skill set on the job.
  • Experience developing tools, scripts, or plugins for analysis workflows.
  • Proficiency in at least one RE-relevant scripting or programming language.
  • Ability to prototype, evaluate, and refine experimental tooling.

Nice to Haves

  • Some experience applying automation or AI to RE tasks.
  • Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks or orchestration systems.

SWE3 Qualifications:

A minimum of twelve (12) years of experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Four ( 4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

Salary Range: $241k-$295k (Annually)
