Senior Real-Time Systems Engineer for Automotive Streaming

NVIDIA; United States; On-site; USD 184,000 - 357,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Systems Software Engineer to extend GeForce NOW technology into automotive platforms, focusing on real-time streaming components and safety-critical determinism. You will work across RTOS environments like QNX and AUTOSAR, ensuring isolation from ASIL-rated components and meeting ISO 26262 requirements.

The role involves collaborating with safety teams, developing test infrastructure for real-time performance, and driving metrics and improvements for fault tolerance in

Qualifications

• Proficiency in C/C++, with strong systems software programming and open-box debugging skills.
• Hands-on experience with 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 (Adaptive streaming, FEC, L4S, ECN).
• Understanding of deterministic, thread-safe and memory-safe coding practices.
• BS or MS in CS/EE/CE (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years of experience.

Responsibilities

• Extend and adapt GFN's low-latency streaming stack to RTOS platforms (e.g., QNX, AUTOSAR) to meet strict determinism, timing, and partitioning requirements
• Develop QM-classified streaming software with freedom-from-interference awareness, ensuring architectural isolation from ASIL-rated components per ISO 26262 standard
• Collaborate with functional safety teams to ensure streaming components meet freedom-from-interference and resource-partitioning requirements relative to colocated safety-critical systems
• Build and evolve test infrastructure and tools to validate real-time performance and fault-tolerance behavior 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 team engineering and safety processes
