Job description

The Electrical Engineer will lead the establishment and operation of Client’s Chip-Off Forensics Lab, providing expert technical guidance on hardware forensics, chip extraction, and low-level device analysis. This senior position requires deep expertise in electrical engineering principles applied to forensic investigations of network-edge devices and embedded systems containing deeply embedded malware where standard forensic methods cannot obtain usable device images.

This position serves as the technical lead for lab establishment and will be the primary point of contact for laboratory infrastructure, equipment procurement, and technical capability development. The ideal candidate will have strong project leadership abilities combined with deep hands‑on technical expertise.

Responsibilities
  • Lead technical design and setup of Chip-Off Forensics Lab infrastructure at government facility
  • Provide expert guidance on chip extraction, PCB analysis, and hardware‑level forensics
  • Develop and document chip‑off forensics workflows and standard operating procedures
  • Conduct forensic analysis of compromised network‑edge devices and embedded systems
  • Perform circuit board reverse engineering and component identification
  • Extract and analyze data from flash memory, EEPROM, and other storage components
  • Design and implement safe chip removal and data recovery procedures
  • Specify and procure laboratory equipment and forensic tools
  • Collaborate with client's SMEs on hardware and skillset requirements
  • Train CSD analysts on chip‑off forensics techniques and procedures
  • Conduct lab demonstrations showcasing chip‑off capabilities
  • Analyze proprietary hardware systems targeted by threat actors
  • Support forensic investigations where EDR solutions are absent or insufficient
  • Document technical findings and forensic methodologies
  • Provide reach‑back support and technical consultation to analysts
Required Skills
  • Must have an active TS/SCI clearance
  • Must be able to obtain DHS Suitability
  • 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering or hardware design
  • Expert knowledge of PCB design, circuit analysis, and digital electronics
  • Strong experience with chip extraction and hardware forensics techniques
  • Proficiency with electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters)
  • Understanding of embedded systems architecture and memory technologies
  • Experience with microcontrollers, SoCs, and embedded processor platforms
  • Knowledge of data recovery from damaged or protected storage devices
  • Strong soldering and desoldering components to access memory chips and other critical hardware for data extraction
  • Experience with reverse engineering proprietary hardware systems
  • Excellent documentation and technical writing abilities
Desired Skills
  • Experience supporting federal cybersecurity or forensics programs
  • Background in digital forensics or incident response
  • Knowledge of firmware analysis and reverse engineering
  • Experience with network‑edge device security and vulnerabilities
  • Familiarity with JTAG, SPI, I2C, and other hardware debugging interfaces
  • Understanding of IoT and OT device architectures
  • Experience training technical personnel on forensics methodologies
  • Knowledge of malware embedded in hardware or firmware
  • Familiarity with EDR limitations in embedded device environments
Required Education

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline; Master’s degree or PhD preferred

Desired Certifications
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent advanced certification preferred
