• Design, develop, and implement security software and services for Tegra SoC platforms.
• Collaborate with customers, partners, and cross-functional hardware/architecture/software teams to integrate security features.
• Perform detailed security assessments and code reviews to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Participate in the silicon lifecycle: pre-silicon simulation/emulation, test validation, power-on bring-up, and test automation improvements.
• Specify and implement test cases and improve software quality and automation for security validation.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry security standards and regulations.
• Mentor and provide guidance to junior engineers; contribute to the team’s security strategy and roadmap.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience required to perform the role.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in security software engineering.
• Proven experience developing and deploying security solutions in complex systems.
• Strong knowledge of security protocols, cryptography, CPU and system architecture, and secure coding practices.
• Experience with AI tooling and workflows, and with security assessment tools and methodologies.
• Experience working across hardware and software teams; familiarity with silicon lifecycle activities (simulation/emulation, validation, bring-up).
• Strong problem-solving skills and clear written and verbal communication.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with GPU and SoC technologies and advanced architecture topics (Security Enclave, Secure Boot, Root of Trust, Runtime Security services, Confidential Compute).
• Demonstrated leadership on security initiatives, mentorship experience, or published research in security.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. A Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field is preferred but not required.
