Cyber Reverse Engineer

CACI International•Sterling, VA

About The Position

Come join CACI's exciting and cutting-edge Cyber Capabilities & Development Division as we push the envelope to support our nation's cyberspace operations! As a Cyber Reverse Engineer, you will perform various analysis, development, testing, and reverse engineering activities. You will work closely with cyber developers, researchers, and customers to solve software and hardware problems and reverse engineer complex systems. Analyze and reverse engineer software binaries and embedded firmware on traditional and embedded systems to identify functional behavior. Conduct code review and vulnerability analysis on software/firmware to identify potential weaknesses or access vectors. Perform protocol analysis of communication channels. Perform static and dynamic analysis of software and firmware using tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra, x64Dbd, GDB, and Sysinternals to research the behavior of binaries. Perform pattern analysis to identify critical information. Draft and deliver technical reports related to the scope, nature, and characteristics of the assessed software/firmware to both technical and non-technical audiences. Brief the customer and accurately capture in writing the findings of your analysis.
