About the role
This role directs product-security strategy and delivery for NVIDIA Jetson, Linux for Tegra (L4T), and the JetPack software platform, playing an important part in making sure these products stay secure, maintainable, and production-ready throughout their lifecycles.
What you'll do
- Oversee and guide the product security strategy and roadmap for Jetson, L4T, and JetPack, establishing product-level security mandates, principles, benchmarks, and lifecycle methodologies.
- Embed secure-by-design principles across firmware, boot software, the Linux kernel, device drivers, system software, containers, and platform services.
- Lead threat analysis and vulnerability assessments, including TAVA, threat modeling, risk analysis, attack-surface analysis, and security architecture reviews.
- Support NVIDIA and customer readiness for cybersecurity regulations, such as the EU CRA, by identifying technical gaps and coordinating evidence.
- Coordinate the creation and upkeep of product-security materials, including SBOMs, security white papers, secure-deployment mentorship, and vulnerability-management documentation.
- Serve as the primary product-security contact for Jetson engineering teams, program management, NVIDIA PSIRT, internal application teams, and selected strategic customers and partners.

- 12+ years in security engineering, with at least 3 years in product-security, platform-security, security-architecture, or technical leadership.
- Experience securing complex embedded, Linux, robotics, edge-computing, automotive, or system-on-chip platforms, with understanding of low-level systems software such as firmware, bootloaders, kernels, device drivers, system services, and containers.
- Solid platform-security fundamentals, including secure boot, roots of trust, trusted execution, key management, cryptography, secure provisioning, debug protection, and secure software update.
- Practical experience with threat modeling, security architecture reviews, vulnerability assessments, risk analysis, and security-requirement development.
- Experience integrating security practices into the software development lifecycle, encompassing code analysis, dependency management, vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation, and remediation workflows.
