Senior Intellectual Property Security Engineer

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by seeking new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world.

This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today!

As an engineer in NVIDIA's Hardware IP Security team you will play a vital role in protecting our intellectual property from malicious and accidental misuse by helping engineering teams build secure workflows and environments, crafting training materials, enforcing security policies and methodologies, and investigating newly discovered threats to the integrity of NVIDIA's security infrastructure. This is a hands‑on contributor role for someone who excels in an independent, fast‑paced environment and who is as comfortable digging into requirements and development details as they are handling day‑to‑day organization tasks.

You will collect requirements, define priorities, plan schedules, and build relationships with other teams. Extensive interpersonal collaboration with other security specialists, hardware engineering teams, and IT partners will enable you to improve existing practices and policies, reduce the impact of security requirements on engineering efficiency, and drive complex, multi‑dimensional projects to protect our data.

• Strong leadership and interpersonal skills
• Experience with security tools and auditing
• Background with a variety of programming languages
• Experience with system administration of Linux servers (CentOS/RHEL and Ubuntu preferred)
• Bachelors or equivalent experience;
  Masters preferred
• 6+ years of experience

• Prior experience with CIS
  18 guidelines, networking ACLs / firewall rules
• Prior experience working with export controlled data
• Experience with credential management tools (Hashivault)
