Our System Product Engineering (SPE) organization is looking for a Security Software Engineer to join the TDE (Test Development Engineering) Security Team. This role focuses on designing, developing, and deploying security-critical software that protects NVIDIA’s next-generation products throughout development, validation, and production. You will work on the most sensitive and business-critical portions of the SPE delivery and production pipelines, taking ownership of production-line security and collaborating closely with DFT, architecture, test development, and validation teams to ensure security is built in end-to-end.
What you’ll be doing
Design and develop security-critical backend services, libraries, and tooling that protect SPE systems, validation flows, and production delivery pipelines
Own and implement production-line security mechanisms, ensuring secure bring-up, test, validation, and manufacturing handoff
Develop and integrate security features such as authentication, attestation, secrets and key management, integrity checks, and audit mechanisms
Build secure automation frameworks and tooling embedded into test execution, validation, and manufacturing workflows
Collaborate closely with DFT (Design for Test), Architecture, test writers, and validation teams to define security requirements and translate them into robust, scalable software solutions
Participate in secure design reviews, threat modeling, security features for SPE board components and production flows
Improve the security posture, reliability, observability, and maintainability of SPE systems and services
Support and influence secure CI/CD and release pipelines, including vulnerability detection, policy enforcement, and controlled deployments
Investigate, debug, and remediate security vulnerabilities and systemic weaknesses across SPE systems spanning development through production
What we need to see
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong ownership of backend systems in Python
Proven experience developing production-quality software and automation passion.
Solid understanding of OOP, software concepts and system design principles
Strong familiarity with Linux environments, system services, and system-level troubleshooting
Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and code review skills
Experience working in cross-functional engineering environments
Proficiency with version control systems and collaborative development workflows
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Experience securing production, manufacturing, or product bring-up pipelines
Background in product security, platform security, or DevSecOps
Experience working with or alongside DFT, hardware architecture, or validation teams
Knowledge of cryptography concepts, secure provisioning, and key management systems
Experience securing CI/CD pipelines for large-scale engineering organizations
