Senior Real-Time Streaming Systems Engineer — Automotive

NVIDIA; Santa Clara (CA); On-site; USD 184,000 - 357,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Systems Software Engineer to extend GeForce NOW streaming technology to automotive platforms, addressing RTOS integration, safety standards, and deterministic performance. You will work at the convergence of real-time media streaming and safety-critical software, shaping how low-latency automotive streaming meets rigorous certification requirements.

You will collaborate with safety teams, evolve test infrastructure, and help ensure architectural isolation from ASIL

Qualifications

• Proficiency in C/C++, with strong systems software programming and open-box debugging skills.
• Hands-on experience with development, debugging, and performance tuning of real-time, latency-sensitive software in QNX or other RTOS environments for automotive or a similar safety-critical domain.
• Solid understanding of ISO 26262 classification concepts (QM vs. ASIL) and freedom-from-interference/partitioning principles.
• Experience with real-time video/audio pipelines including encoding, decoding, network protocols (RTP/ RTCP/ SRTP), and QoS algorithms.
• Understanding of deterministic, thread-safe and memory-safe coding practices.
• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years of experience in above areas.

Responsibilities

• Extend and adapt GFN's low-latency streaming stack to RTOS platforms to meet strict determinism and partitioning requirements.
• Develop QM-classified streaming software with freedom-from-interference awareness, ensuring architectural isolation from ASIL-rated components.
• Collaborate with functional safety teams to ensure streaming components meet FI and resource-partitioning requirements.
• Build and evolve test infrastructure to validate real-time performance and fault-tolerance for automotive streaming scenarios.
• Define and monitor performance/safety metrics and drive continuous product improvement.
• Review code and design across the team and help evolve safety processes.
