We're looking for engineers who want to do the hardest work that matters most.
At Attic Research, you won't be writing reports about problems. You'll be solving them. We value serious technical skill, creative problem-solving, and the drive to push through when things get hard. If you want to work on systems most people will never see, alongside people who operate at an uncommon level, this is the place.
We're headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, a city with a legacy of aerospace innovation and a community that's building the next chapter of it.
We may not have an immediate opening for every role listed, but we're always interested in hearing from exceptional people. Check our job board for current positions.
Analzye hardware, firmware, protocols, and low-level systems using off-the shelf (Ghidra, Binary Ninja) and custom tools. Hardware and software hackers welcome.
Develop novel approaches to system vulnerability disocvery and exploit deployment.
Develop high-fidelity models of systems of interest using off the shelf (QEMU) and in-house simulation frameworks.
Curate cross-domain engineering solutions that bridge multiple technical areas. Specifc areas of interest include full-system security, cyber-physical systems, and AI-enabled signal processing.
Everything we build supports real missions. Your contributions have direct, tangible impact on national security.
No layers of bureaucracy. You'll work directly alongside leadership and our best engineers on the hardest problems we have.
We work at the lowest levels of complex systems. The kind of engineering that sharpens you in ways nothing else can.
