Job summary

NVIDIA in Santa Clara is seeking an experienced Platform Software engineer to own end-to-end software integration across firmware, BSP, drivers, GPU software, services, and release systems.

You will lead system-level debugging of boot failures, hangs, crashes, and power/ performance issues, using traces, logs, and diagnostics to isolate root causes.

The role requires a BS or MS in CS/CE with 12+ years of experience and strong C/C++, Python, and kernel/hypervisor knowledge on Windows and Linux.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years of relevant software development experience.
• Strong understanding of ARM microarchitecture and exception levels.
• Experience integrating drivers/firmware and debugging kernel components, with focus on Windows.
• Background solving problems within large, complex systems deployed at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end software integration strategy for products across firmware, BSP, drivers, GPU software, services, test and release systems.
• Lead system-level debugging of boot failures, hangs, crashes, unexpected resets, power-transition failures, performance regressions, update failures, and firmware/driver interactions.
• Use crash dumps, event logs, traces, UART output, firmware logs, telemetry, and hardware diagnostics to isolate failures across system layers.
• Build automated failure classification that distinguishes product defects from infrastructure, configuration, device, test-harness, and flaky-test failures.
• Drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions for escaped defects, integration failures, and recurring infrastructure problems.
• Integrate OEM and partner software into the NVIDIA software stack to ensure compliance, stability, and power/performance benchmarks for production platforms.
• Work closely with multi-functional teams to prioritize issues across all BSP components—firmware, drivers, kernel, and hardware layers.
• Collaborate with architecture, silicon, firmware, and OS engineering teams to enable new features and ensure flawless cross-component integration.
