  • Proficiency in monitoring, debugging, and communicating on common embedded communications interfaces such as JTAG, SPI, I2C, RS232, USB, etc.
  • Ability to construct enabling prototypes (e.g., Arduino/Raspberry Pi controlled breadboards).
  • Familiarity with common hardware lab tools (e.g., soldering iron, logic analyzer, oscilloscope, function generator, power supply).
  • Knowledge of x86 and/or ARM server platform architecture and the ability to read and understand x86 and/or ARM assembly.
  • Experience with disassemblers/decompilers (e.g., IDA Pro/HexRays, Ghidra, Radare, objdump, gdb) and firmware reversing tools (e.g., binwalk).
  • Familiarity with memory corruption bugs (stack/heap/integer overflows, format strings).
  • Ability to run firmware on QEMU and knowledge of Linux OS internals.
  • Fluency in either C or C++ and proficiency with one among Python, Go, Java, or Bash. Ability to self-teach any language, given appropriate resources to study and practice.
