Senior Security Software Engineer, SPE

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
