Hardware Security Expert

Accenture Israel red team is hiring a Hardware Security specialist for our hardware-security practice.

You'll work in a team of researchers through hands-on lab work: dismantling boards, attaching to UART/JTAG/SPI lines, extracting firmware, and building PoC attacks that help global device makers close critical vulnerabilities. You'll set research direction, scope and prioritize engagements, review findings before they ship in client reports, and mentor researchers as they grow.

You'll stay hands-on with the hardest targets and have flexible remote time for tooling, documentation, and planning.

If you've got deep hardware-security expertise and a record of leading technical teams, we want to hear from you. Help us secure the billions of devices that shape our world.

Responsibilities

-Define research roadmap, engagement scoping, and lab capabilities (equipment, tooling, budget).

-Oversee and personally tackle advanced engagements: teardown, fault injection, side-channel, firmware extraction, and secure-boot attacks.

-Review PoCs and reports for technical accuracy, CVSS scoring, and clear remediation guidance.

-Serve as the technical point of contact for clients, including scoping, readouts, and responsible-disclosure coordination.

-Drive automation and process improvements in Python/C tooling and CI/CD pipelines.
