Senior Security Engineer, RTOS and Virtualization

Experteer Overview In this role you’ll lead security engineering for RTOS, hypervisor, and embedded virtualization within NVIDIA DRIVE Software, shaping safe and reliable automotive platforms. You’ll work with cross-functional teams on CPU/SoC architecture and hardware isolation to enable strong partitioning and secure updates. You’ll drive threat modeling, risk-based decisions, and rigorous security verification to deliver resilient, automotive-grade systems. This position offers the opportunity to impact real-time safety-critical software powering autonomous driving at scale. Compensation / Benefits * Lead security engineering for RTOS, hypervisor, and embedded virtualization across design, implementation, review, and verification * Collaborate on CPU and SoC architecture including privilege levels, memory protection, DMA, interrupts, boot flows, debug controls, and hardware isolation * Build and implement defensive features such as strong partitioning, least-privilege access, secure communication, fault containment, secure updates, and recovery from malicious inputs * Perform threat modeling and automotive TARA, linking risks, mitigations, requirements, tests, and evidence to security and safety standards * Review low-level C/C++ code, investigate vulnerabilities, build fuzzing and security test infrastructure, and drive fixes into production Tasks * 8+ years of hands-on systems, embedded, platform, product, or automotive security experience * BSEE/ BSCS degree or equivalent experience * Experience securing RTOS, hypervisor, kernel, firmware, boot, driver, or other privileged software * Strong C/C++ skills with emphasis on memory safety, concurrency, resource ownership, privilege boundaries, and isolation * Familiarity with CPU/SoC security concepts including MMU/SMMU/IOMMU, DMA, interrupts, boot, debug, and hardware-backed isolation * Experience with threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitability assessment, fuzzing, static or dynamic analysis, and security remediation * Familiarity with automotive cybersecurity and safety/process standards such as ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155, ISO 26262 interfaces, or Automotive SPICE Key requirements * equity * benefits * base salary range * career growth opportunities
