The Senior Security Engineer position at NVIDIA focuses on enhancing security for RTOS, hypervisor, and embedded virtualization technologies. The role is part of the Hypervisor and RTOS Team, which is dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. The engineer will lead security engineering efforts while ensuring compliance with automotive quality, safety, and security standards. This position requires collaboration on CPU and SoC architecture and the implementation of defensive security features.

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in systems, embedded, platform, product, or automotive security.
• BSEE/BSCS degree or equivalent experience.
• Experience securing RTOS, hypervisor, kernel, firmware, boot, driver, or other privileged software.
• Strong C/C++ skills with a focus on memory safety, concurrency, resource ownership, privilege boundaries, and isolation.
• Familiarity with CPU and SoC security concepts including MMU/SMMU or IOMMU, DMA, interrupts, boot, debug, and hardware-backed isolation.
• Experience with threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitability assessment, fuzzing, static or dynamic analysis, and security remediation.
• Familiarity with automotive cybersecurity, safety, or process standards such as ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, ISO 26262 interfaces, or Automotive SPICE.

• Lead security engineering for RTOS, hypervisor, and embedded virtualization technologies across design, implementation, review, and verification.
• Collaborate on CPU and SoC architecture, including privilege levels, memory protection, DMA, interrupts, boot flows, debug controls, and hardware isolation.
• Build and implement defensive features such as strong partitioning, least-privilege access, secure communication, fault containment, secure updates, and recovery from malicious inputs.
• Perform threat modeling and automotive TARA, connecting risks, mitigations, requirements, tests, and evidence to security and safety standards.
• Review low-level C/C++ code, investigate vulnerabilities, build fuzzing and security test infrastructure, and drive fixes into production.

• Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
