Description
What We’re Doing:
Lockheed Martin, Cyber & Intelligence invites you to step up to one of today’s most daunting challenges: the use of advanced electronics to undermine our way of life. As the sleuth of code you'll, unravel the tangled threads. With each line of code, a puzzle piece is revealed, and the engineer's mind weaves a tapestry of understanding. Like an archaeologist unearthing ancient secrets, you'll excavate the hidden truths of a software's architecture. As the code's mysteries are laid bare, your expertise forges a path forward, illuminating the darkness of the unknown. In this realm of digital discovery, you are the master cartographer, mapping the unseen landscapes of a program's inner workings.
At Lockheed Martin, you’ll protect the networks that our citizens and the world depend upon each minute: Financial assets. Healthcare information. Critical infrastructure. Hazardous materials. The uninterrupted flow of energy that keeps modern life moving. Here, you’ll work with cybersecurity experts on the forefront of threat protection and proactive prevention. In this fast-paced, real-world environment, you’ll draw on all your education and experience as well as the resources of Lockheed Martin to keep the threats at bay.

The Work
As the Offensive Cyber VR/RE, your one of a kind mind will jump in to intricacies of systems in order to learn and know the functionality and how it behaves / triggers during breaches. In that sense, you've got to be adept at both creating and undermining novel security techniques, tactics and tools and be able to switch directions quickly (and easily). Projects and efforts like this are usually within small teams and close collaboration with clients. While coding is critical to the job, a large part of your daily role will be dissecting systems instead of building something new. Likely you'll be using Python to scrutinize C code.
