Full Job Description :

We are looking for someone to join us on a new project developing an innovative set of tools to retrofit network infrastructure with integrity enforcement to provide additional system resilience. The primary focus of the role is software development to build a framework capable of interacting as a hardware device monitor, observing conditions on the system, acting on those conditions through a Python library, and influencing the state of the operating device. The role involves working with a group of people performing analysis and reverse engineering on the device to integrate all the components into the deplorable platform. This role will be part of a team mostly located in Kudu's Virginia office demonstrating capabilities to our Sponsors. The ideal candidate for the role is someone familiar with hardware interaction through JTAG, UART, SPI interfaces and a strong software engineering background

Responsibilities Include :

• Using a Python library to interact with a hardware device within the parameters of limitations set forth by the sponsor and hardware capabilities
• Testing interaction on a running device to determine throughput capabilities, finding optimal hardware interaction locations, and determining bottlenecks to performance
• Constructing test scenarios to find and document potential system limitations
• Critically analyzing, interpreting, and communicating results and providing recommendations for future improvement efforts
• Identifying gaps in system coverage and providing recommended solutions to satisfy program requirements
• Strengthening network devices with custom mitigation techniques to discover and halt cyber kill-chain activities
• Developing tools to analyze network device operation and deploy protection countermeasures
