About the Role

NVIDIA is seeking a Software Security Architect for its DRIVE OS Automotive Software team. This role involves contributing to safety-critical automotive platforms, ensuring high performance and resilience against cyber attacks.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

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