NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated system software engineer with a strong bias toward security tooling, infrastructure, and quality to join the GPU Software team. In this role, you will design and build automation frameworks and services that enable secure GPU firmware development at scale—spanning fuzzing infrastructure, signing and chain-of-trust workflows, key management and derivation (including HSM integration), and regression testing automation. You'll partner closely with software engineers worldwide to maintain and scale our fuzzing infrastructure platform, deploy reliable security services and automation on modern infrastructure platforms (CI/CD, Kubernetes, and cloud environments), and promote AI technologies to improve developer experience and productivity across the GPU security toolchain.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What you'll be doing:
- Maintain and scale fuzzing infrastructure, onboarding new fuzzers, optimizing coverage and performance, and collaborating cross-functionally with security, QA, and product teams to integrate fuzzing into development workflows.
- Design, develop, and integrate security infrastructure for GPU firmware signing, key management and derivation services, incorporating HSMs and collaborating with hardware and software engineers around the world.
- Evangelize and implement AI powered technologies and workflows to enhance developer experience, productivity, and code quality; exploring opportunities for AI assisted testing, code generation, and intelligent automation.
- Develop and automate regression testing platforms and tools to improve productivity, reliability, and coverage across GPU security components and workflows.
- Design, build, deploy, and monitor security automation frameworks and services (e.g., signing, key management, fuzzing automation), integrating with CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes-based infrastructure.
- Build out design verification, simulation, quality, and developer workflow capabilities for the GPU Systems Software teams.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What we need to see:
- BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree (or equivalent experience).
- 3+ years of relevant software tooling and infrastructure experience, especially with security or testing focus.
- Demonstrated hands-on technical background; strong scripting skills (Shell, Python) for automation, diagnostics, and workflow integration.
- Working knowledge of designing, deploying, operating, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and jobs (e.g., build, test, signing, fuzzing, release promotion), including troubleshooting and reliability improvements.
- Relevant experience with tooling and infrastructure technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Artifactory, SQL/NoSQL databases.
- Experience with at least one of: fuzzing technologies, cryptography, key management, firmware development, or embedded security.
- Familiarity with computer system architecture, microprocessor, and microcontroller fundamentals (caches, buses, memory controllers, DMA, etc.).
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Hands-on experience with fuzzing frameworks and tools (AFL, libFuzzer, Syzkaller, or similar) and corpus management strategies.
- Experience integrating AI/ML technologies into developer workflows or productivity tools.
- Hands on experience with C, C++, Python, Rust.
- Familiarity with cryptography, security policies, chain of trust, key laddering, and HSMs.
- Experience with test automation frameworks, regression testing platforms, and continuous testing practices.
COMPENSATION
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 124,000 USD - 195,500 USD for Level 2, and 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 5, 2026.
This posting is for an existing vacancy. NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which legal companies sponsor H-1B visas in California?
Large law firms with California offices, including Latham & Watkins, Skadden Arps, Morrison & Foerster, and Orrick, have established H-1B sponsorship histories. Corporate legal departments at technology companies such as Google, Apple, Meta, and Salesforce also sponsor H-1B petitions for in-house attorneys and legal operations professionals. Sponsorship is more common at larger organizations with dedicated immigration compliance resources.
Which cities in California have the most legal H-1B sponsorship jobs?
San Francisco and Silicon Valley account for a significant share of legal H-1B sponsorship activity, driven by the concentration of major technology companies with in-house legal teams. Los Angeles follows closely, home to large AmLaw 100 offices and entertainment industry legal departments. San Diego has a smaller but active legal market, particularly in life sciences and biotech corporate counsel roles.
What types of legal roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Roles that require a Juris Doctor or a foreign law degree in a specific legal field generally qualify as specialty occupations under H-1B rules. Common qualifying positions include associate attorneys, in-house counsel, legal analysts, compliance officers, and intellectual property specialists. Roles where a generic bachelor's degree in any field satisfies the requirement, such as some paralegal or legal operations coordinator positions, may face greater scrutiny.
How do I find legal H-1B sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers and filters legal H-1B sponsorship jobs in California by employer, role type, and location. Rather than sorting through postings that don't confirm sponsorship, Migrate Mate surfaces positions from employers with verified H-1B filing histories, saving time for foreign national attorneys and legal professionals targeting California's legal market.
Are there California-specific considerations for H-1B sponsorship in the legal industry?
California's Bar admission requirements apply independently of H-1B status, so foreign-trained attorneys sponsored by California employers may still need to pass the California Bar or qualify under its foreign legal consultant rules to practice law. Some in-house roles do not require California Bar admission, making them more accessible. Employers in California are also subject to the state's strong worker protection laws, which can affect how H-1B prevailing wage obligations are structured.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B legal jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
