Join NVIDIA's GPU Software team as a System Software Engineer focused on GPU kernel driver and embedded software at the OS/hardware boundary. You'll develop and verify GPU features from design through deployment, collaborating with global teams to deliver high-performance, secure solutions. The role emphasizes strong C/C++ coding, low-level driver experience, and knowledge of computer architecture, with bonus points for security and embedded software concepts. Opportunities to mentor others and work across multiple teams worldwide are included.
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” We're looking to grow our company, and build our teams with the smartest people in the world. Would you like to join us at the forefront of technological advancement?
We are looking for enthusiastic software engineers with proficiency and interest in OS/System Software concepts at the Hardware/Software boundary to join the GPU Software team. You will be working with our production GPU kernel driver and embedded software to develop secure, scalable and portable software solutions that maximize hardware and software performance. Ideal candidates would have a strong understanding of OS and Computer Architecture concepts together with excellent C or C++ coding skills. An interest and knowledge of security concepts and embedded software development is a strong bonus.
What you'll be doing:
Develop and verify GPU features from initial design through deployment, collaborating globally with hardware and software teams to deliver world-class products
Develop and lead the integration of complex system software components, collaborating across hardware and software teams to deliver robust, high-performance GPU and embedded system solutions while mentoring engineers and driving continuous quality improvements
Help design and implement features for our GPUs; working with software and hardware engineering teams
Evaluate, recommend, and develop methodologies and tools to measure and enhance security and quality of embedded and system software
Identify vulnerabilities in our production kernel and embedded software, building proof of concepts, and working with teams to address them
Have opportunities to collaborate and communicate effectively with teams from all around the globe
What we need to see from you:
BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree, or equivalent experience
2+ years of industry experience.
Software development experience
You can demonstrate a hands-on technical background, excellent C programming, and low-level driver experience
You are an asset if you have familiarity with computer system architecture, microprocessor, and microcontroller fundamentals (caches, buses, memory controllers, dma, etc)
Kernel experience with Linux, Android, Chrome, or Windows systems
Experience with complex system-level debugging is invaluable
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Familiarity with kernel level security concepts; this includes testing techniques and a familiarity with static code analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing, negative testing and other techniques
Background with embedded system SW concepts, e.g.: RTOS and resource constrained programming models
Experience on virtualization platforms (XenServer, KVM, Hyper-V)
Are you dedicated, upbeat and dynamic with excellent analytical ability? Are you an engineer passionate and highly motivated about solving complex problems? If so, you may be a perfect fit for NVIDIA!
