Networking Architecture Intern, Security Research

NVIDIA is a leader in accelerated computing, driving innovation across industries with ground breaking technologies in AI, graphics, and high-performance computing. Our networking products, including InfiniBand and Ethernet solutions, power some of the world’s largest data centers, enabling unparalleled scalability and efficiency for AI and scientific workloads. In the realm of security, NVIDIA is a strong proponent of confidential computing and has a long history of deploying ARM TrustZone trusted execution environments (TEEs) to enable robust security on ARM-based platforms.

We are seeking PhD interns who are passionate about advancing cybersecurity research to join our team. This is an opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects involving symbolic execution and formal analysis of real-world, secure systems.

What you'll be doing:

• Conduct research on symbolic execution techniques and apply them to existing NVIDIA products.

• Investigate and perform formal analysis of code used in secure environments.

• Collaborate with NVIDIA researchers to explore innovative approaches for enhancing security in ARM TrustZone and other TEEs.

• Contribute to projects that have potential real-world impact on NVIDIA's product portfolio.

What we need to see:

• Current enrollment in a PhD program in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field.

• A strong research background with publications in top-tier security conferences.

• Experience with symbolic execution tools or frameworks.

• Familiarity with ARM TrustZone or other TEEs.

• Solid programming skills and a deep understanding of secure system design.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Expertise with symbolic or concolic execution frameworks such as angr.

• Deep architectural knowledge of at least two TEEs.

• Understanding of common attack vectors targeting TEEs and methods to mitigate them.

• A demonstrated ability to translate sophisticated research into practical solutions.
