Thank you, that does sound interesting, and I do have an interest in cybersecurity (just not IT security as in firewalls, incident response ...etc). I saw some interesting stuff being done recently from programming/writing code to emulate a microcontroller/CPU in something like qemu, to power glitching and bypassing protection on some chips to allow accessing serial/debug interface or even some of the mobile baseband reverse engineering/emulation being done by experienced security researchers. but I couldnt tell what kind of experience I would need to have for that sort of job, or where to start, at least I think starting with embedded projects and low level OS-related stuff would someday lead me to that career path.

> my company is hiring and likely will be all year. We probably have a use for a new SWE on the embedded side. Email me at my username at Gmail.

I'll keep this mind, thank you.

We don't do IT cybersecurity. That stuff is boring. :)

Our work is much closer to the metal. There's a big hardware component. Based on what you describe, we have work that I strongly suspect you'd find interesting. Your intuition was correct - low level coding and OS stuff is where all the goods are at.

Shoot me an email at cushychicken@gmail.com and I can tell you about what we do in a bit more detail.
