intersect both domains. The Cyber Physical Systems Group tackles key problems in the convergence of cybersecurity and the physical world in an interdisciplinary research and development environment. We focus on developing new capabilities in the areas of cyber-physical techniques for the Do D, intelligence community, and federal agencies.
Key technology development thrusts include gaining cyber intelligence from novel sensors and signal analysis, testbed development and introspection, and unconventional methods of system exploitation. The successful candidate will work with a multidisciplinary team as an RF Analyst/Engineer. In this role, you will engage with government sponsors to identify
national needs, and lead smart and innovative teams to deliver new technologies and capabilities to address those needs. The successful candidate should be interested in the inter-disciplinary nature of the cyber-physical problem space and be willing to develop new expertise in the pursuit of solving unconventional problems.
The RF Analyst/Engineer will develop novel capabilities analyzing and exploiting the emanations of cyber-physical systems. You will leverage your expertise in RF systems and phenomenology toward analyzing RF spectra and protocols, and developing novel defensive techniques for Do D and other government systems. The operational convergence of cyber and RF-phenomenology,
known as Cyber-RF, offers exciting opportunities to innovate and create new cyber-physical technologies at the seam between computer security and electromagnetics.
Requirements Ph D in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related discipline, or MS with 3+ years of experience, or BS and 5+ years of directly related experience will be considered Familiarity with radio-frequency (RF) phenomenology, electronics, and unintended RF emissions Ability to lead a project or team Effective oral and written communication skills Ability to conduct limited domestic travel to Government and cleared defense contractor sites (post-Covid) Demonstrated capabilities in the following areas, while not required, are highly desired in this area and will be given special consideration: Low-level embedded system programming such as C Proficiency in high-level scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB Spectrum analysis and digital signal processing Experience with protocol analysis Experience with common and emerging protocols and systems, such as 4- and 5G Understanding of cybersecurity technical challenges especially as they relate to sensors, emitters, controllers, and embedded systems Proficiency with software defined radios (SDRs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and Linux development environments Proficiency in machine learning techniques/AI and other data analysis techniques Proficiency with side-channel attacks and similar techniques For Benefits Information, click http: //hrweb.
