Innovative Projects: KBR’s work is at the forefront of engineering, logistics, operations, science, program management, mission IT and cybersecurity solutions.

Collaborative Environment: Be part of a dynamic team that thrives on collaboration and innovation, fostering a supportive and intellectually stimulating workplace.
Impactful Work: Your contributions will be pivotal in designing and optimizing defense systems that ensure national security and shape the future of space defense.

KBR is seeking a Vulnerability Researcher to support vulnerability discovery and validation efforts against embedded systems and firmware. In this role, you will focus on hands‑on vulnerability research, including building emulation‑backed test environments, developing fuzzing workflows, performing crash triage and root‑cause analysis, and assisting with proof‑of‑concept exploit development in a controlled lab setting.

The Vulnerability Researcher works closely with reverse engineers and senior vulnerability researchers to deliver reproducible findings and high‑quality technical documentation for government customers while continuing to deepen technical proficiency across mission‑relevant domains.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct vulnerability research on embedded targets using asset‑safe approaches such as emulation, virtualization, and controlled experimentation
Develop and execute fuzzing campaigns, including target setup, fuzz harness development, seed/corpus management, and coverage‑driven testing
Perform crash triage and root‑cause analysis to identify and characterize security vulnerabilities
Assist in the development of proof‑of‑concept exploits to validate vulnerability impact in controlled laboratory environments
Create and maintain test harnesses and supporting infrastructure to exercise payload delivery and validate behavior repeatably
Reverse engineer firmware and binaries as needed to understand vulnerable code paths and exploitation constraints
Collaborate with vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, and developers support mission objectives
Document findings and produce technical reports and artifacts suitable for release
Research and apply new vulnerability research tools and techniques under senior technical guidance

Minimum Qualifications

Security Clearance: Must have an active U.S. government Secret security clearance, which is something only a U.S. citizen can obtain
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
4–9 years of experience in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, or exploit development
Strong understanding of embedded systems, firmware, operating systems, and low‑level software behavior
Proficiency in C/C++, Python, and assembly for vulnerability research, harness development, and automation
Experience with embedded emulation environments
Experience with coverage‑guided fuzzing, fuzz harness development, and crash triage workflows

Preferred Qualifications

Experience developing proof‑of‑concept exploits for vulnerability validation
Exposure to analysis techniques such as symbolic execution, concolic execution, or taint analysis
Experience with hardware‑focused vulnerability research or embedded security testing
Demonstrated ability to communicate technical findings clearly in written reports

Basic Compensation: $99,200 - $130,000 (For Beavercreek, OH Only)
The offered rate will be based on the selected candidate’s knowledge, skills, abilities and/or experience and in consideration of internal parity.
