Responsibilities
- Define security architecture for NVIDIA Networking firmware, including trust boundaries, privilege separation, device identity, key storage, secure boot, chain of trust, secure updates, and anti-rollback flows.
- Perform threat modeling across firmware and embedded subsystems and analyze hardware/firmware interactions for security weaknesses.
- Define security features and mitigations across provisioning, attestation, debug authorization, runtime hardening, and field updates.
- Translate threat models into security requirements and architectural decisions, and review designs and implementations.
- Partner with hardware and ASIC architects to specify security primitives and their use across the product line.
- Drive secure firmware development practices, including memory-safe C coding patterns, static analysis, and fuzzing of firmware-exposed interfaces.
- Ensure development processes meet security and coding standards.
Requirements
- Academic degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- At least 8 years of experience in product security, firmware security, or security research, including hands-on embedded or firmware codebase experience.
- Experience defining production security policy models, including authorization schemes, RBAC, and administrative role separation.
- Familiarity with applied cryptography, secure boot, code signing, attestation, threat modeling, attack vectors, and mitigation techniques.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an evolving environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Preferred: M.Sc. or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
- Preferred: experience with networking-device hardware/software interfaces, register and MMIO programming models, DMA, mailbox and doorbell mechanisms, PCIe configuration and management interfaces, and firmware.
- Preferred: experience with hardware roots of trust, hardware-enforced isolation, MPU/MMU, secure enclaves, and fuse/OTP-based provisioning in SoCs or ASICs.
- Preferred: hands-on networking software experience with device drivers, control plane, management interfaces, or embedded network operating systems.
- Preferred: familiarity with high-scale deployment and the data center security ecosystem.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary ranging from 184,000 USD to 287,500 USD for Level 4 or from 224,000 USD to 356,500 USD for Level 5, depending on location, experience, and comparable employee pay.
