Cyber Security Hardware Researcher Student

We are now looking for a Cyber Security Hardware Researcher Student

Are you passionate about hardware security and exciting in a chance for researching, finding, mitigating and preventing the future “big-bang” vulnerabilities and exploits across variety of systems and architectures in the most sophisticated computing platforms in the fields of artificial intelligence super computers and ground-breaking cloud networking infrastructure?

If so, joining us at the Product Security team of NVIDIA Networking is what you are looking for.

What you'll be doing

• Conduct research on hardware security vulnerabilities, threat models, and potential mitigations.
• Analyze and evaluate hardware architectures for potential security weaknesses, including ASICs, System-on-Chip devices, microcontrollers, memory devices, etc.
• Develop proof-of-concepts to demonstrate hardware vulnerabilities or mitigations.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams (architecture, design, verification, firmware, etc.) to assess and improve hardware security mechanisms.
• Explore groundbreaking security topics, such as side-channel attacks, fault injections, and post-quantum security implications for hardware.
  
  

• Currently pursuing a B.Sc./M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Shown understanding of computer architecture and hardware design principles.
• Basic knowledge of security concepts (e.g., cryptography, secure boot, trusted execution environments).
• Familiarity with programming languages such as C/C++ or Python.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and in a team.
• Good interpersonal skills and ability to document research findings clearly.
  
  

• Hands-on experience with hardware security topics (e.g., side-channel analysis, fault injection, hardware reverse engineering).
• Familiarity with RTL design and verification (Verilog/ SystemVerilog).
• Experience using hardware development tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, evaluation boards).
• Contributions to security-related open-source projects, research papers, or participation in Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions.
• Knowledge of emerging hardware security standards and technologies - Caliptra, Post-quantum cryptography, Physical Unclonable Function, etc.
