Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Systems Software Engineer to advance real-time streaming over wireless networks, focusing on 5G/Wi-Fi connectivity in automotive, robotics, and AI inference use cases. You will design low-latency C++ software, diagnose and fix latency issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable streaming solutions.

The role emphasizes hands-on C/C++, networking expertise, and the ability to mentor peers while driving performance improvements in real-world

Qualifications

• Master’s degree, Ph.D., or equivalent experience in Computer Science, EE, or a closely related field.
• 8+ years of experience in wireless networking and software development.
• Hands-on experience with wireless communication technologies, including 5G, Wi‑Fi, or satellite connectivity, with familiarity across modern 5G architectures and deployments.
• Familiarity with 5G core networks and practical 5G deployments across different spectrum, access, and network architectures.
• Strong hands-on experience in C/C++ software development, optimization, and debugging.
• Deep understanding of streaming and connectivity-related technologies, including RTP, WebRTC, WebSockets, QUIC, SCTP, STUN/TURN, ICE, and NAT Traversal.
• Experience debugging connectivity or streaming issues using event logs, captured network data, telemetry, and network diagnostics.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work across software, platform, modem, carrier, and network layers.

Responsibilities

• Build, develop, and optimize low-latency C/C++ software to improve real-time streaming over 5G, Wi‑Fi, and other bandwidth-limited wireless networks.
• Build connectivity solutions that integrate with cellular, Wi‑Fi, and platform APIs while diagnosing anomalies using telemetry, packet captures, modem diagnostics, and user data.
• Analyze logs, packet captures, modem diagnostics, network telemetry, and user metrics to fix latency, system efficiency, handover, packet loss, and recovery issues.
• Develop network quality KPIs, automated test frameworks, and realistic wireless network simulations to validate streaming performance under challenging real-world conditions.
• Partner with cloud networking teams, automotive partners, wireless carriers, and platform engineers to deliver scalable streaming solutions, while mentoring engineers and advancing guidelines for wireless connectivity.
• Use data analysis and modeling tools to understand real-world network behavior and identify areas for improvement.
