NVIDIA is a leading artificial intelligence computing company, and we are paving the way with innovations in self-driving cars, machine learning, supercomputing, gaming, and visualization. We give automakers, tier-1 suppliers, automotive research institutions, and start-ups the power and flexibility to develop and deploy breakthrough artificial intelligence systems for self-driving vehicles. Our unified computing architecture enables training deep neural networks in the data center, and then seamlessly runs them on NVIDIA DRIVE Platforms inside the vehicle.

Within NVIDIA DRIVE Software, the Hypervisor and RTOS Team contributes significantly to NVIDIA's advancement in artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. Our mission is to manage system resource sharing and separation while fulfilling real-time, safety, and security needs. We design Hypervisor and RTOS focusing on automotive quality, safety, and security required by the real-time, highly reliable system parts of leading Autonomous Vehicles. We are hiring now for the position of Senior Security Engineer, RTOS and Virtualization

What you’ll be doing:

• 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, and connect 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.

What we need to see:

• 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 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.
