Perform analysis to include research, testing / debugging, performance validation, quality control, and deployment.
Conduct firmware simulations using software analysis tools such as IDA Pro or MPLAB.
Develop software in assembly language, C, and Python to support the reverse engineering process.
Prepare technical classification reports derived from reverse engineering and software analysis results.
Provide engineering support to C5ISR Center Technical Forensics and Exploitation Lab, aiding in the development of key technologies and processes.
Conduct basic research, testing, debugging, performance validation, quality control, and deployment related to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) electronics.
Conduct fundamental investigations, evaluations, applications, and design implementations of new technologies, with a focus on integrating them into UAS platforms.
Apply RF test techniques and characterize components and circuits relevant to UAS.
Assist engineers in design investigations, product replication, and development processes, focusing on UAS applications.
Aid in the development of test fixtures using the latest electronic and mechanical CAD software, 3D printing, and PCB fabrication, with a particular emphasis on UAS requirements.
Gain immersion and growth opportunities in manufacturing processes and test methods, specifically related to UAS technologies.
Lead and participate in system test and evaluation efforts to ensure the system meets required specific work with cutting-edge technologies including RF transmitters, RF receivers, GPS, RF amplifiers, and digital circuits specifically tailored for UAVs and land-based sensors.

Qualifications Required :

Active Top-Secret Clearance with the ability to obtain SCI.
