Senior Embedded Linux Platform Security Engineer

About

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Linux Platform Security Engineer to support the development of secure, production-ready embedded platforms for next-generation medical devices. While experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms is still valued, we are now expanding our search to include strong engineers with expertise in Ubuntu-based systems, image creation, and platform security, particularly within regulated environments (FDA/QMS). This role offers a unique opportunity to grow into NVIDIA Jetson ownership, with support from an external NVIDIA consulting partner who will assist in building hardened production images and enabling knowledge transfer.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain secure Ubuntu-based embedded Linux images for production environments
• Implement system hardening, security controls, and compliance measures aligned with FDA and QMS standards
• Support OTA (Over-the-Air) update mechanisms, ensuring reliability and security of deployed devices
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to develop minimal, hardened production images
• Contribute to platform security architecture, including secure boot, access control, and system integrity
• Assist in integrating and securing edge/embedded compute platforms, including future NVIDIA Jetson-based systems
• Participate in risk assessments, threat modeling, and vulnerability remediation across the device lifecycle

What Makes This Role Unique

• Opportunity to step into a Jetson-focused role over time with support from a dedicated NVIDIA consulting partner
• High-impact work on production-grade medical devices in a regulated environment
• Ability to influence platform security strategy and architecture from the ground up

Core Skills

• Embedded Linux Platform Engineering
• Ubuntu
• System hardening
• Security frameworks
