Vulnerability Researcher/Reverse Engineer

You have been redirected to RTX’s career page as we have recently transitioned from RTX to become a standalone company, which provides us with greater autonomy and opportunities for growth. As a prospective employee of Nightwing, you’ll have the chance to contribute to our continued success and shape the future of our cybersecurity, intelligence, and services offerings.

Previously part of a leading Fortune 100 company and headquartered in Dulles, VA; Nightwing became independent in 2024 but continues to support the nation’s most mission impactful initiatives.

When we formed Nightwing, we brought a deep set of credentials and an unfaltering commitment to the mission. For over four decades, our team has been providing some of the world’s most technically advanced full-spectrum cyber, data operations, systems integration and intelligence support services to the U.S. government on its most important missions.

At Nightwing, we value collaboration and teamwork. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside talented individuals who are passionate about what they do. Together, we’ll leverage our collective expertise to drive innovation, solve complex problems, and deliver exceptional results for our clients.

About Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services

The Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services (CIS) business provides technically advanced full-spectrum cyber, data operations, systems integration and intelligence mission support services to meet our customers’ most demanding challenges. Our capabilities include cyber space operations, cyber defense and resiliency, vulnerability research, ubiquitous technical surveillance, data intelligence, lifecycle mission enablement, and software modernization. CIS brings disruptive technologies, agility, and competitive offerings to customers in the intelligence community, defense, civil, and commercial markets

Our team covers the full life cycle from emulation, reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and CNO/CNE tool development. Our mission covers a wide range of targets, anything from major consumer electronics to proprietary one-off systems.  If it runs code, we have probably looked at it (or will soon.).

In addition, the position will provide deliverables for real-world use in relatively short turn-around times. We seek a qualified engineer that can perform as a team member on activities involved with research, reverse engineering, development, testing, maintenance, and modification of complex classified and unclassified software applications.

Projects will be undertaken in small teams with close coordination with customers to quickly enhance capabilities or resolve issues in existing tools for real-world applications.  Working as part of a team you will also need to be familiar with source management tools such as GIT and team coordination tools like the Atlassian suite of work products.  All candidates must be US citizens and be able to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.

Required Skills

  • Vulnerability research experience with one or more chipset/OS type
  • Experience with debugging tools (WinDbg, gdb, lldb, OllyDbg)
  • 3+ years of strong experience with C
  • Experience developing CNO/CNE tools
  • Experience with source management tools
  • Experience with assembly language (x86/64, ARM, PPC, Mips, etc.)

 Desired Skills

  • C++/Python
  • Embedded/RTOS systems
  • Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP stacks, wire-level protocols, RF communications, BGP, routing protocols, or others)
  • Knowledge of typical embedded systems including UART, boot-up sequences and updating devices
  • Embedded system development and/or hardware debugging using JTAG/gdb
  • Hardware/full system emulation
  • Hardware/firmware/communications reverse engineering
  • Linux or other OS reversing
