## About the Role

ESVD seeks Co-Op students to support teams performing embedded system cybersecurity testing. Successful candidates will need to be able to analyze large problems and break them down into smaller, achievable tasks. To support this they will need to be able to create high-level block diagrams, create custom scripts to support testing and solve problems from first principles. Students will be working on projects that may involve one or more of the following: embedded systems development, hardware reverse engineering (RE), firmware RE, software RE and/or signals analysis.

Working alone and alongside other students is expected. Strong written communication skills are a must.

Experience with capture the flag events, firmware/software reverse engineering with Ghidra or IDA, or software-defined radios is desired.
Required Minimum Qualifications, * Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

 * 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA
 * Must be eligible to be approved by your college/university to participate in a co-op program and register for co-op credit with your university during work terms
 * Must be able to complete at least three full-time co-op terms (alternating three terms of full-time work at GTRI with semesters of full-time school) prior to graduation
