Job Summary

Battelle is currently seeking an aspiring Early Career Vulnerability Researcher to work in our Columbus, OH location.

Do you enjoy conducting vulnerability research from scratch? Do you have arguments over Ghidra vs. IDA vs. BinaryNinja?

Battelle has been trusted by elite government clients to solve some of the world’s hardest security problems. We work in small agile teams to push the bounds of computing technology. Our high-powered labs include specialized software and hardware, so our engineers have everything they need to invent new Cyber solutions.

We encourage new ideas with our large Internal Research and Development (IRAD) program where engineers work on projects they are passionate about. Inventors and innovators are rewarded by our industry-leading IP compensation program. Our group works collaboratively with many parts of Battelle’s larger organization on projects ranging from genomics to robotics.
