Mobile Device Software Engineer / Reverse Engineer

[int 80h]

This is a job posting for residents of the US only and you must be willing to relocate to Michigan.

My company is an engineering, research and software development company which specializes in the cellular industry. We have been in business since early 2008 and our management team is completely comprised of former (and current) software developers with over 30 years of industry experience. Our customers include OEMs like Motorola, HTC and Samsung and wireless carriers like MetroPCS, Cricket and Iusacell, including OEMs and carriers from all over the world. When OEMs want to customize existing mobile devices for smaller carriers they outsource this task to us. We reverse engineer the device and modify its base software to add or remove features, branding and other customizations. Do you like work that is intellectually challenging and diverse? Do you think ethical hacking and reverse engineering are skills every programmer should have? Would you be doing something like this as a hobby and think the idea of getting to play with phones all day is a great way to make a living?


The Mobile Device Software Engineer is assigned a reverse engineering or development project or projects based on current project queue and/or prior experience and knowledge.

The primary job function is the development of software / hardware solutions for the customization, or alteration of cellular devices for use on CDMA or GSM networks. We are a research and development company that works in the cellular industry. Network Operators (wireless carriers) and other distributors / refurbishment companies come to us when they are unable to build or find a solution to a particular software or hardware problem. This often involves research into the inner workings of the phone software and hardware to develop a solution that can be deployed by our production and operations staff or packaged into a software solution for use by our customers. We encourage the hacker mentality in our company, not in the malicious sense, but in the inquisitive and creative sense. In most cases there is no documentation available for the devices we work on, so we must rely on our experience and creativity to find a solution. Imagine getting paid to play with cell phones! Work is project oriented with set goals and requirements, and all equipment is provided by us.
