Job description

NVIDIA is looking for a Security Architect to enhance security architecture for their innovative SoCs and GPUs. The role involves collaborating with experienced security architects and engineering teams to evaluate platform security requirements and support security certification efforts. The architect will gain hands-on experience in various security domains, including silicon security and cryptography. This position also focuses on building AI-assisted tools to improve security architecture workflows.

Requirements

  • Pursuing or recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong foundation in computer architecture, digital logic, operating systems, embedded systems, or computer security.
  • Coursework, internship, research, project, or equivalent experience in security, computer architecture, hardware design, or cryptography.
  • Programming and debugging fundamentals in one or more of C, C++, Python, Verilog, System Verilog, ARM assembly, RISC V assembly, or scripting languages.
  • Strong analytical, reasoning, collaboration, and problem-solving skills for working across engineering teams.
  • Curiosity and genuine interest in learning security architecture for sophisticated SoCs and GPUs.
  • Interest in learning how AI tools and automation can improve engineering workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Support security certification and compliance efforts for NVIDIA chips and platforms.
  • Assist with certification documentation, implementation tracking, evidence collection, and compliance mapping.
  • Help translate security requirements and certification expectations into practical engineering mentorship.
  • Review architecture, verification, and firewall specifications to assess whether IPs meet platform security requirements.
  • Contribute to threat modeling by identifying trust boundaries, attack surfaces, assets, assumptions, and potential mitigations.
  • Contribute to security architecture documentation, design review checklists, certification materials, and compliance mappings.
  • Collaborate with security architects, hardware teams, software teams, verification teams, and product teams.
  • Build and improve tools and workflows enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Benefits

  • 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.
