Job Details
Do you enjoy hacking and tinkering at the lowest levels of software? Are you capable of crafting and implementing creative secure firmware solutions in heavily resource-constrained environments? If so, you're primed to help develop the boot software that powers the world's best GPUs. NVIDIA is searching for an outstanding security software engineer to fill an exciting, yet fun role on our GPU Firmware team. You will be joining a team whose primary mission is solving the intricate enigma of securing and innovating the boot process for our GPUs, while working through the formidable constraints of boot-time and storage space. Every. Byte. Counts.
The GPU Firmware team builds the root of trust firmware for GPUs that provides secure boot, update, and attestation services for all our GPU products from gaming to high-performance compute in the datacenter. We want your help to build an industry leading security posture for a security critical component across all these products.
What you'll be doing:
What we need to see:
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 356,500 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.

We want your help to build an industry leading security posture for a security critical component across all these products.
What you'll be doing:
- Design, develop, test, debug, and optimize GPU firmware throughout the entire GPU lifecycle
- Continuously evaluate and improve the security posture of firmware and hardware that form the root of trust for our products
- Improve team software process and core infrastructure by enhancing build systems, regression farms, and security test infrastructure
- Participate in in-depth security reviews of software, hardware, process, and infrastructure
- Facilitate security requirements and solutions by participating inindustry standards such as NIST, Open Compute Project, DMTF etc., and aligning with key customers and partners
- Collaborate with NVIDIA's and third-party vendors' hardware and software teams to improve security across hardware, BootROMs, and software stacks
- Work within a larger virtual security team on other parts of the GPU stack, as necessary
What we need to see:
- BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)
- 6+ years' experience in developing device BIOS, firmware, or other low-level software
- 4+ years' experience in building secure firmware and working with hardware security components
- Strong C skills
- Secure software fundamentals including cryptography, authentication/attestation, chains of trust, and understanding of common SW security vulnerabilities
- Easy to work with, as you'll constantly work closely with both hardware designers and other software engineers to design, develop, and debug functional (and non-functional!) aspects of GPU subsystems
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Experience with threat modeling, formal design analysis, hardware/firmware architecture, and other demonstrable security experience in a defensive security focused role.
- Background with secure development techniques such as attack-trees, static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and negative testing
- Experience developing for safety critical platforms
- Experience with formal verification
- Passion for your work
