Position Overview

CRA’s  Forensic Services practice supports companies’ commitment to integrity by assisting them and their counsel in independently responding to allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, misconduct, and non-compliance. We are noted for deploying cross-trained teams of forensic professionals to assist our clients in gaining deeper insights and greater value more quickly.

We are looking for curious, analytical, highly motivated candidates with 2-5 years of experience who have majored in Computer Science or an equivalent degree. We value knowledge of software development, system design and implementation, exceptional written and oral communication skills, and a high level of initiative.

  • Conducting detailed forensic investigations of source code and systems in the context of copyright infringement, patent infringement, software failure, and software audit matters;
  • Leveraging technical and consulting expertise to support counsel and clients in intellectual property litigation or disputes involving complex technology;
  • Analyzing and inspecting source code, database schemas, system configurations, technical documentation, and other sources of technical evidence typically produced in the context of intellectual property litigation;
  • Assisting with the preparation of expert reports and declarations describing technical and analytical findings;
  • Ensuring reliability of analysis and risk management through implementing quality control measures and documentation;
  • Participating in practice-building activities including recruiting and training;

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience and deep understanding of programming languages including C, Java, or Python
  • Strong understanding of source code analysis, binary reverse engineering, and hardware functional testing techniques
  • Familiarity of analytical tools (e.g., SciTools Understand) used to visualize and understand software code
  • Understanding of database administration and software development models (SDLC, Agile, etc.)
  • Experience with drafting technical and investigative reports and communicating technical findings

Additional leadership and collaboration opportunities exist through internal firm development activities.
  • We offer a comprehensive total rewards program including a superior benefits package, wellness programming to support physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being, and in-house immigration support for foreign nationals and international business travelers.
