Job Summary

This position is an onsite role.

Nightwing is looking for interns interested in a career focused on Software and Hardware engineering. Nightwing’s goal is to teach interns engineering challenges that they would not encounter in everyday normal curriculum. Ultimately interns at Nightwing learn to analyze systems to understand how they work and how they behave when they break. Candidates must be able to play both sides of the fence, both developing and defeating new and advanced security techniques. Projects are undertaken in small teams inclose coordination with mentors to maximize growth potential. All our engineers write code, but many of our engineers spend as much time reverse engineering and taking systems apart and building new ones. A typical day can involve studying disassembly or writing Python to audit a piece of C code.

Responsibilities To Anticipate

  • Growth in knowledge of target being researched
  • Regular documentation on research results
  • Evaluation of research results
  • Modifications to research tools and directions
  • Productizing successful research to deliver to a customer

  • Must be enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master's degree program in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) typically Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related area
  • Please upload a copy of your most recent transcripts with your resume when applying to this requisition. Include your cumulative GPA and projected graduation date on your resume
