Job description

Apply for the Senior GPU System Software Engineer role at NVIDIA. 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, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company”. We are looking to grow our company and teams with the smartest people in the world.

Systems Software supports NVIDIA's new high performance chipset business. They are generalists with a deep understanding of today's PC architecture, including bus protocols such as PCI, AGP, USB, and 1394, and CPU booting, arbitration, and cache management protocols. System engineers program down to the metal and are comfortable around hardware specs. They write software for networking, audio, IDE, SMBus, and other hardware, and implement support for modern PC standards such as ACPI and OnNow.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and validating software for our next-generation SOC platform.
• Solve and debug problems related to Memory, ACPI, Graphics, and Display to support our customers, partners, and users.
• Investigating and scoping out the architecture requirement for the next-generation SOC systems.
• Investigate and debug hard hangs across various system components (CPU, memory, I/O).
• Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and OS teams to isolate root causes.
• Utilize hardware debug tools (e.g., JTAG) and software diagnostics.
• Collect and analyse crash dumps, logs, and signal traces.
• Support validation and bring-up activities for new hardware platforms.
• Provide feedback for design improvements.

What We Need To See

• Master’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of experience
• Strong C programming skills as well as having shown initiative in pursuing independent coding projects
• Solid engineering background and understanding of good code methodology
• Experience writing code to directly control hardware is a plus
• Good foundation and knowledge of OS & RTOS concepts.
• Develop and maintain kernel-mode drivers for Linux and WDDM-compliant drivers for Windows.
• SOC platform engineering, development/integration/bring up
• Excellent problem-solving and cross-team collaboration skills

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• SOC System level understanding and good knowledge of tools like windbg, gdb, kernel tracing utilities.
• Familiarity with graphics/display subsystems, DMA, interrupt handling, and memory management.
• Proficient in navigating the functionalities of diverse IPs within the SOC platform, backed by a robust knowledge of memory management and coherency principles
