NVIDIA DGX Cloud is an AI Factory designed to power the next generation of AI and industrial-scale breakthroughs. As a Principal Engineer for Security Architecture, within our Security Engineering organization, you will own a core security domain of the AI factory: the architecture, the paved road that delivers it, and much of the code underneath. You will hold the security design bar across DGX Cloud from inside the teams doing the building, and this is a founding seat on a new team. Security Engineering is a new organization at DGX Cloud, accountable for the security outcome of the platform, and Security Architecture is the function inside it that holds the design bar. Security here is fleet horizontal and stack vertical, so your work will cross every DGX Cloud engineering organization: you will embed with the teams building GPU clusters, control planes, and services, join their designs as a participant rather than an approver, and leave behind systems in which an entire class of risk is no longer possible. There is no architecture review board here and no approval queue. You are a senior IC with deep security domain knowledge, and the security bar holds because you helped set it and then helped ship it. What You Will Be Doing: Own a Security Domain End to End: Take architectural ownership of a core domain of DGX Cloud security, from the design through the system running in production. That could be tenant and GPU workload isolation, workload identity, infrastructure and network, supply-chain provenance, hardened baselines and patching, or deploy-time policy and admission control. Embed with the Teams Building It: Join the design early, write the code, and help land it. The posture is not "you did this wrong." It is "here are the considerations we need to meet, I will help, let's go to work." Build Paved Roads, Not
Own the end-to-end execution that takes NVIDIA DRIVE Autonomous Driving Software (NDAS) from product definition to production deployment across major OEM vehicle lines. We are seeking an accomplished engineering execution leader to lead adaptation, integration, validation, and production readiness of NVIDIA Autonomous driving solution (NDAS) for strategic automotive OEMs. You will work between NVIDIA product and engineering teams and the OEM's vehicle, software, systems, and validation groups. The role involves converting an agreed feature set into a deliverable vehicle program. This entails clarifying requirements, coordinating interfaces and responsibilities, setting the engineering plan, building consistent productization workflows, and managing issue resolution. You will influence teams such as systems engineering, autonomous-driving development, platform software, functional safety, cybersecurity, quality, validation, release, and customer engineering. What You'll Be Doing: Lead NDAS execution with major OEMs across the full program lifecycle — from feature definition and technical alignment through vehicle integration, validation, launch, and production ramp — owning the coordinated engineering plan per vehicle line, including requirements, architecture, adaptation scope, achievements, staffing, validation strategy, release criteria, and production-readiness gates. Translate OEM vehicle requirements and use cases into clear commitments for NVIDIA teams, while ensuring OEM partners understand product capabilities, constraints, assumptions, and the work required on their side; build scalable, repeatable workflows for adapting NDAS to specific OEM platforms, vehicle architectures, sensor configurations, compute platforms, networks, and development processes.
