Senior System Software Engineer - CUDA Chips

We are hiring senior engineers to work on the CUDA driver, a core component of our platform for accelerating general purpose computation on the GPU. Our team delivers features and improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for a growing range of computational workloads, ranging from across deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars, video games and virtual reality.

CUDA helps define a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities accomplished through CUDA driver interaction with GPU hardware, kernel mode drivers, and the operating system. This role incorporates strong system software programming skills, a detailed understanding of operating systems and kernel programming, hardware architecture, as well as excellent communication and planning skills.

You will work closely with both hardware engineers and other software engineers to craft, develop, debug and deploy many functional aspects of NVIDIA hardware and mobile system-on-chip (SOC) devices!

You can expect be heavily involved through all aspects of development of our world-class products, ranging up front from design feedback, early modeling, simulation of hardware in pre-silicon environments, all the way through to early silicon bringup and final feature deployment in production software ultimately delivered to end users.

You should be eager to learn about, and contribute to, the design of new compute and graphics drivers and new GPU architectures!

• Develop Software on Pre-Si environments(Simulation/Emulation)

• Own and drive CUDA enablement for new Silicon and Architecture

• Work with SW, HW and relevant teams to develop, stabilize and productize CUDA features for new chips and systems

• Promote, architect, and implement new features, as well as own contribution to bring up of CUDA on new chips

• Help define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model, while driving development efforts across multiple teams

• BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

• 5+ years of relevant systems software development experience

• Strong C programming skills, knowledge of parallel programming

• Experience with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory

• Deep understanding of technology and passionate about what you do

• Good written communication as well as strong collaborative skills and ability to effectively guide and influence across groups

• Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO

• Experience with Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.
