Description
This role supports advanced digital forensics and cyber threat analysis on classified government programs. The Forensics Malware Analyst / Reverse Engineer will conduct reverse engineering of malicious software, perform in-depth forensic analysis of compromised systems, and uncover adversary tactics and techniques in a secure, mission-driven environment.
What You'll Do
• Conduct static and dynamic malware analysis to determine functionality, intent, and impact
• Perform reverse engineering of binaries to uncover persistence mechanisms, exploit behavior, and obfuscation techniques
• Execute host-based and memory forensics on compromised systems and analyze artifacts including registry changes, file system modifications, memory dumps, and logs
• Identify and document indicators of compromise (IOCs) and attack chains, correlating forensic findings with threat intelligence and adversary TTPs
• Develop scripts, tools, or automation to support malware and forensic analysis efforts and produce detailed technical reports
What You Need
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• Hands-on experience in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and/or digital forensics with strong understanding of Windows and/or Linux internals
• Proficiency with reverse engineering and forensic tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, x64dbg, WinDbg, Volatility, and Autopsy
• Experience with x86/x64 assembly and low-level debugging; proficiency in scripting or programming (Python, C/C++, or similar)
• Understanding of common malware techniques including packing, encryption, obfuscation, and anti-analysis methods; ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI clearance
Nice to Have
• Prior experience supporting DOD, Intelligence Community, or federal cyber programs
• Experience with memory forensics, live response, network forensics, and PCAP analysis
• Experience analyzing APT or nation-state malware
• Kernel-mode, firmware, or embedded system reverse engineering experience; active TS/SCI clearance
