## Description

We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to join our Hypervisor and RTOS Team within NVIDIA DRIVE Software. As a Senior Security Engineer, RTOS and Virtualization, you will lead security engineering for RTOS, hypervisor, and embedded virtualization technologies across design, implementation, review, and verification.

Responsibilities:

- 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.

Requirements:

- 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.

- Familiarity with automotive cybersecurity, safety, or process standards such as ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, ISO 26262 interfaces, or Automotive SPICE.

Benefits:

- Equity

- Other benefits
