We are now looking for Senior Research Scientist, Security and Privacy. NVIDIA is seeking exceptional security and privacy researchers to contribute to the development of secure, private, and safe AI systems. Security, privacy, and safety concerns are increasingly limiting the access and use of data in AI as well as the use of AI in critical use cases. In order to enable trustworthy AI systems in the future, all layers of AI systems need to be co-designed and co-optimized to provide strong, verifiable protection while still maximizing performance and energy efficiency. We are seeking candidates that have a proven track record of research excellence, a broad perspective on security/privacy across the full hardware/software stack, and depth in one of the layers such as computer architecture, programming languages, software systems, applied cryptography, and AI/ML algorithms.

NVIDIA has pioneered programmable GPUs and the CUDA language, and is a world leader in accelerated computing and AI systems, with aggressive plans for future system developments. This position offers you the opportunity to have a real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company.

• Publish original research and speak at conferences and events.

What we need to see:

• You have a Ph.D. in CE/CS/EE (or equivalent experience) with a strong background in computer architecture, operating systems, programming languages/compilers, applied cryptography, and/or AI/ML. A strong publication, patent, and research collaboration history is a huge advantage.

• At least 4 years of relevant research and work experience

• Demonstrated expertise in at least one specific security area (applied cryptography, programming languages, software systems , AI/ML algorithms, computer architecture, etc) with the ability to become the go-to resource within a team having varied backgrounds.

• Experience with experimental research and development.
