Description

NVIDIA is seeking exceptional security and privacy researchers to contribute to the development of secure, private, and safe systems.

In particular, security, privacy, and safety concerns are increasingly limiting the access and use of data in AI as well as the use of AI in critical use cases.

To enable trustworthy AI systems in the future, all layers of AI systems need to be co-designed and co-optimized to provide strong, verifiable protection while still maximizing performance and energy efficiency.

We are seeking candidates with a proven track record of research excellence, a broad perspective on security/privacy across the full hardware/software stack, and depth in one of the layers such as computer architecture, programming languages, software systems, applied cryptography, and AI/ML algorithms.

  • Publish original research and speak at conferences and events.

Requirements

  • Pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering with a strong background in computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages/compilers, applied cryptography, and/or AI/ML.
  • Demonstrated expertise in at least one specific security area (applied cryptography, programming languages, software systems, AI/ML algorithms, computer architecture, etc.) with the ability to become the go-to resource within a team having varied backgrounds.
  • Strong publication and research collaboration records.
  • Experience with experimental research and development.
  • Experience with C, C++, Python, and/or scripting languages.
