## Description

NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated, creative engineer with experience in system software and a background in security to join the Server Platform Software team. You will focus on offensive security efforts for Data Center Systems, such as NVIDIA HGX, DGX, and MGX.

### Responsibilities

- Find vulnerabilities and write exploits against Data Center Systems firmware, targeting management controllers, roots of trust, BIOS, GPUs, SmartNICs, and NVLink switches.

- Work from the platform's threat models, including tenants attacking the management plane, operators attacking confidential workloads, and tampering in the supply chain.

- Influence change, mitigate issue classes, and enhance defense in depth to get people excited about security.

- Automate finding bugs, judging their severity, and mapping them to platform-level threats.

### Requirements

- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

- 5+ years in security engineering or vulnerability research, including 4+ years of software engineering.

- Exceptional C and Python skills, and fluency reading ARM or RISC-V assembly.

- Experience auditing embedded firmware, Linux applications, and network-facing services.

- Experience with modern fuzzers such as AFL++, libFuzzer, or syzkaller, and with static analysis.

- Knowledge of modern server architecture and secure boot.

- Clear written and verbal communication with engineering teams and leadership.

- Effective collaboration with remote teams.

### Preferred Qualifications

- Reverse engineering and exploit development experience on embedded targets.

- Experience attacking or building trusted computing: measured boot, attestation, confidential computing.

- Familiarity with GPU-accelerated computing systems and their management planes.

- Experience decomposing and completing complex technical tasks.

- Published CVEs, public security write-ups, or other work samples.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary ranges for this position are: 152,000 USD – 241,500 USD for Level 3; and 184,000 USD – 287,500 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
