Group 53 applies foundational and applied cybersecurity research to the most critical challenges in national security. We develop secure systems that are resilient to adversarial threats—now and in the future. Our mission is to ensure that national security systems can be trusted and relied on, even in adversary-contested environments.
Requirements
- Software design, development, and testing in Rust (preferred) and/or C/C++.
- Systems integration, testing, and evaluation of secure systems.
- Embedded systems analysis, design, and implementation.
- System engineering, security requirements analysis, and threat modeling.
- Secure programming practices and software development lifecycle.
- Operating system internals, embedded systems security, and network protocols.
- Applied cryptography and protocols, including industry and government standards.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the development, prototyping, and implementation of secure computing, storage, and communication technologies.
- Engage in a range of research and engineering activities, from software design and system integration to testing and evaluation.
- Collaborate with engineers and researchers across disciplines to solve technical challenges relevant to National Security.
- Support the transfer of technical solutions to real-world applications.
Other
- A Master’s degree in Computer Security, System Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Alternatively, a Bachelor’s degree with at least 3 years of relevant experience.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate effectively in a team-oriented environment.
- Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
- U.S. citizenship is required.
