Summer 2027 Cyber Research Intern

Peraton Labs is a research center within Peraton that develops applied research and engineering solutions in communications, analytics, and cybersecurity. The Cyber Research Intern will perform applied research and development in areas including deep learning for threat detection, cyber deception, cyber operations, vulnerability research, and program analysis, while developing proof-of-concepts and communicating research findings.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement state-of-the-art Deep Learning models to detect cyber security threats
• Design and implement cyber deception technologies to deter adversaries
• Conduct literature survey on state-of-the-art cyber deception technologies
• Conduct literature survey on adversarial attacks against Deep Learning architectures
• Rapidly develop Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) demonstrating research findings
• Prepare documentations and presentations summarizing research findings
• Collaborate with team members and integrate PoCs/prototypes into a unified technology
• Create a broader impact by developing implementation plans for transferring the technology to Government customers
• Full-spectrum cyber operations, offensive and defensive cyber operations
• Software reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and exploit development
• Machine learning methods as applied to cyber security problems
• Program analysis (including vulnerability detection and/or remediation)
