Senior GPU Hardware Security Architect, Memory Security and System Configuration

We are now looking for a Senior Hardware Security Architect focused on GPU Memory Security and System Configuration:

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Hardware Security Architect to architect, design, validate, and guide implementation of HW security for its GPU products with a focus on memory security. You are expected to take a strong, hands-on approach to ensuring secure development and engineering practices across multiple internal teams by leading by example. Persons in this role will help reduce risk, threats, and vulnerabilities with a focus on GPU memory security.

What you'll be doing:

• Define HW features that ensure GPU and system memory security properties.

• Threat Modeling of new GPU features and use cases.

• Collaborate between multiple business units and development groups to ensure the GPU meets the security requirements of the target markets.

• Perform security reviews of firmware and hardware designs and assist others to ensure quality and robustness of our products.

• Recommend best practices for secure service development driving continuous improvement in the engineering organization. Including mentoring, developing and delivering training materials, producing frameworks to reduce best practice patterns to application for use in production efforts.

• Define architectural and micro-architectural details for features that improve security of our GPUs.

• Drive implementation and verification of hardware features that improve security of our GPUs.

• You will collaborate to develop a long-term security roadmap for our products to ensure suitability for the markets we serve.

What we need to see:

• A Master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering.

• 8+ years of relevant hardware development experience with a focus and interest in hardware security and client systems.

• Deep understanding of processor architectures (GPU is a plus), caches and memory systems.

• Understanding of server level PCIE and memory system architectures.

• Proficiency in Verilog RTL coding and scripting languages, such as: Perl, Python and Make etc.

• A working understanding of floor-planning, ASIC physical design, VLSI and DFT.

• A hands on technical background; excellent C programming and low-level firmware experience.

• Strong communication skills are required along with the ability to work in a dynamic product oriented team.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with kernel level security concepts.

• Experience with security testing techniques, threat modeling, fuzzing, negative testing and other techniques.

• Background with micro architectural attacks (side channels, fault injection, etc).

• Experience with HW level applications of cryptography; secure boot, key management, etc.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. Are you creative and autonomous? Do you love the challenge of crafting the securest silicon possible? If so, we want to hear from you. Come, join our GPU Security Architecture team and help build the real-time, cost-effective computing platform driving our success across several exciting and quickly growing fields.
