TL;DR · Senior Product Security Lead

The Senior Product Security Lead oversees the product security strategy and delivery for NVIDIA Jetson, Linux for Tegra, and the JetPack software platform. This role involves leading full product security across architecture, development, release, and vulnerability response to ensure these edge-AI products remain secure and production-ready. Key responsibilities include embedding secure-by-design principles into firmware, boot software, the Linux kernel, device drivers, and containers. The position requires performing threat modeling, risk analysis, and security architecture reviews while coordinating with engineering teams to resolve findings. Necessary skills include expertise in secure boot, hardware roots of trust, key provisioning, and cryptography. Candidates must understand low-level systems software and possess experience with C, C++, and Python to secure complex embedded, robotics, and automotive platforms.

What you'll do

  • Direct the product security strategy and roadmap for Jetson, L4T, and JetPack platforms.
  • Embed secure-by-design principles into firmware, boot software, Linux kernels, and device drivers.
  • Lead threat analysis, risk assessments, and security architecture reviews to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  • Coordinate the triage and resolution of security findings with PSIRT and engineering teams.
  • Ensure product readiness for cybersecurity regulations like the EU CRA by identifying technical gaps.
  • Create and maintain security materials including SBOMs, white papers, and customer-facing collateral.
  • Develop scalable processes and foundational security standards to align multiple development teams.
  • Track operational metrics for vulnerability response, security-requirement coverage, and remediation progress.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 12 years of experience in security engineering.
  • At least 3 years of experience in product-security, platform-security, security-architecture, or technical leadership.
  • Experience securing complex embedded, Linux, robotics, edge-computing, automotive, or system-on-chip platforms.
  • Proficiency in low-level systems software including firmware, bootloaders, kernels, device drivers, system services, and containers.
  • Solid platform-security fundamentals including secure boot, roots of trust, trusted execution, key management, cryptography, and secure software updates.
  • 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, including code analysis, dependency management, and SBOM generation.
