We are seeking an experienced professional with demonstrated technical depth and breadth in embedded and hardware systems, as well as the soft skills to effectively communicate with executive and technical teams. As a Principal Hardware/Embedded Systems Penetration Tester, you will be responsible for assessing the security of various hardware and embedded systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and providing actionable recommendations for improvement. You will largely work independently, demonstrating technical excellence and a positive, proactive approach on behalf of our practice of "Hardware & Integrated Systems".
Our Hardware & Integrated Systems Practice operates globally in some of the largest and most critically situated industries. In this role, you'll have the ability to work alongside a world-class team using top-tier custom tools. Applicants are expected to leverage strong problem-solving skills, as well as lead, collaborate, and innovate to deliver high-quality exercises and exceptional experiences for our customers.
A day in the life of a NetSPI Principal Security consultant:
  • Perform Hardware and/or firmware penetration tests.
  • Lead in threat modeling exercises related to Embedded Systems.
  • Create and deliver penetration test reports to clients.
  • Collaborate with clients to create remediation strategies that will help improve their security posture.
  • Conduct thorough penetration testing on hardware and embedded systems, including IoT devices, automotive systems, industrial control systems (ICS), and other critical infrastructure.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive testing plans, methodologies, and tools tailored to specific hardware platforms.
  • Identify, analyze, and document security vulnerabilities and exploits in hardware and firmware.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to review system architectures and design security solutions.
  • Provide detailed reports and presentations to stakeholders, outlining findings and remediation strategies.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of best practices and testing standards.
  • Stay current with the latest security trends, tools, and technologies in the hardware and embedded systems domain.

Other important tasks you'll partake in:
  • Research and develop innovative techniques, tools, and methodologies for penetration testing services.
  • Help define and document internal, technical, and service processes and procedures.
  • Contribute to the community through the development of tools, presentations, white papers, and blogs.

The experience you'll need to be successful:
  • Experience required (one of the following):
    • 4 years of dedicated security consulting experience, with 2 of those years having a heavy concentration in embedded/hardware penetration and security designs.
    • 5 years of dedicated hardware/embedded systems design & development, with an additional 1-2 years of hardware/embedded security consulting and penetration testing.
    • 10+ years of dedicated hardware/embedded systems design, development & fabrications, with a strong understanding of security vulnerabilities and how they may apply to hardware/embedded systems.
  • Hands-on experience with hardware penetration testing techniques, including soldering, probing chips, removing, and reworking components, and hardware debugging.
  • Knowledge of Linux, Unix, QNX and/or Windows Operating Systems.
  • Knowledge of Application and Network Protocols and design.
  • Adept in reverse engineering, firmware analysis, and exploitation techniques.
  • Strong understanding of embedded systems architectures, communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART), and hardware debugging tools.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively to bypass security mechanisms.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher, preferred with a concentration in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Math, or IT - or equivalent experience.
  • Up to 25% travel
