Are you passionate about software security and looking to make a significant impact in the automotive industry? Join NVIDIA, a world-class leader in AI and accelerated computing, as a Software Security Architect in our DRIVE OS Automotive Software team. In this role, you'll contribute to the development of safety-critical automotive platforms, that meet high performance demands while being resilient to cyber attacks.

What you'll be doing:

• Define, analyze, and review secure software architectures for centralized automotive computing platforms.

• Perform threat modeling and security architecture analysis for mixed-criticality, multi-tenant automotive software systems.

• Partner with safety architects to reason about the interaction between security controls, safety mechanisms, failure modes, and recovery behavior.

• Define OS security policy, access control, isolation, and privilege models across Android, Linux, QNX, and virtualized environments.

• Build security systems that maintain integrity and availability for safety-critical vehicle software.

• Analyze security trade-offs involving performance, latency, memory footprint, boot time, diagnosability, and functional safety requirements.

• Guide engineering teams on secure build, secure coding, threat mitigation, and security review practices.

• Collaborate across software, hardware, safety, security, and systems teams to meet NVIDIA and automotive industry standards.

What we need to see:

• 12+ years of experience in secure and safe embedded software development

• Bachelors degree or equivalent experience

• Strong background in embedded systems security, platform security, and OS security applied to high performance computers (HPCs).

• Solid understanding of software safety principles and their interplay with secure develop principles when applied to mixed-criticality systems.

• Experience implementing security frameworks to address integrity and availability issues.

• Experience with threat modeling, applied cryptography, common attack vectors, and security reviews.

• Familiarity with ARM-based SoC architecture, including caches, buses, memory controllers, debug, interrupt handling, and device access control.

• Familiarity with OS architecture, kernel concepts, drivers, process isolation, memory protection, and networking protocols such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, and TLS.

• Experience with virtualization technologies and building secure multi-tenant embedded platforms.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands-on experience with both ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO 26262, including TARA, HARA, and safety-security co-analysis.

• Experience crafting security architecture for safety-critical embedded systems.

• Deep experience with hypervisors, kernels, device drivers, boot firmware, debug infrastructure, or low-level platform security.

• Experience with formal specification, formal verification, and model checking.

• Ability to translate between safety, security, systems, and software engineering teams and drive practical architectural decisions.
