Intel’s ASSERT (Advanced System Security Evaluation Research Team) is looking for a talented CS student to join us. We perform Offensive Security Research on complex compute systems spanning Security Engines, Client + Server product segments, AI systems, and more.

Part of Intel IPAS (Intel Product Assurance and Security), our goal is to discover vulnerabilities, define, develop, and deploy countermeasures into Intel products through close collaboration with partner Research and Development teams. This requires creative analysis of potential threats from an attacker perspective, developing complex exploits, root cause analysis, and developing new research tools, methods & mitigations to strengthen the product before shipment.

Qualifications

Minimum work experience requirements:

2+ years of experience (or equivalent hands-on work through side-projects, hobbies, class projects, etc.) in the field of system security research or machine learning, and exploring software + hardware techniques as a method of automated attack against targets within computing systems.

Preferred qualifications:

• In-depth experience with vulnerability research
• Experience with using machine learning and AI for security
• Demonstrated expertise in exploit development (published exploits and write-ups on exploiting new classes of issues, new techniques, tools are greatly appreciated)
• Reverse Engineering experience (or, for researchers focused on open-source software, demonstrated expertise on reading assembly and writing exploits for complex vulnerability classes)
• Knowledge of computer architecture, CPU, SoC, chipsets, BIOS, Firmware, Drivers, and other compute paradigms

The ideal candidate should also have:

• Ability to work autonomously in a less structured startup type environment with minimal supervision
• Ability to span security expertise over HW, SW and Firmware domains
• Passion for AI and security research and community impact, demonstrated by published research and collaboration to community efforts (yes, Phrack and PoC '' GTFO papers are appreciated more than certifications)
