About the role

Technical security architect for NVIDIA Networking, focusing on firmware security, threat modeling, and secure development practices across firmware, hardware interfaces, and lifecycle security.

Responsibilities

  • Be involved in the security architecture of NVIDIA Networking firmware — trust boundaries, privilege separation between firmware domains, device identity and key storage, secure boot and chain of trust, and secure update and anti-rollback flows.
  • Perform security threat modeling of firmware and embedded subsystems across NVIDIA Networking products.
  • Analyze complex firmware and hardware/firmware interactions to identify security weaknesses, including boot flows, privileged execution environments, and host- and network-facing management interfaces.
  • Define security features and mitigations spanning the full device lifecycle — provisioning, attestation, debug authorization, runtime hardening, and field update. Guide the engineering teams throughout the implementation.
  • Translate threat models into actionable security requirements and architectural decisions, and review designs and implementations against them.
  • Partner with hardware and ASIC architects to specify the security primitives firmware depends on, and define how they are used across the product line.
  • Drive secure development practices for firmware — memory-safe coding patterns in C, static analysis, and fuzzing of firmware-exposed interfaces — and ensure development processes meet security and coding standards.

Qualifications

  • Academic degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or related field (or equivalent work experience).
  • 5+ years in product security, firmware security, or security research with hands-on work on embedded or firmware codebases.
  • Experience defining security policy models — authorization schemes, RBAC, and administrative role separation, including policy expression, enforcement, and administration in production.
  • Familiarity with applied cryptography (secure boot, code signing, attestation), threat modeling, common attack vectors, and mitigation techniques.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a constantly evolving environment.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
