Job Summary


This position is an onsite role.


Nightwing is looking for interns interested in a career focused on Software and Hardware engineering.

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.

  • Regular documentation on research results

  • Evaluation of research results

  • Modifications to research tools and directions

  • Productizing successful research to deliver to a customer
