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.
What we need to see
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.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
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.
