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 deep learning and scientific computation to self‑driving cars, video games, and virtual reality. What You’ll Be Doing You can expect to be heavily involved through all aspects of development of our world‑class products, ranging from design feedback, early modeling, simulation of hardware in pre‑silicon environments, all the way through to early silicon bring‑up 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. In This Role, You Will 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 Write effective, maintainable, and well‑tested code Develop code for multiple operating systems What We Need To See 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 Excellent knowledge of computer system architectures Experience with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs Background with working with large codebases Deep understanding of technology and passion for what you do Good written communication as well as strong collaborative skills and ability to effectively guide and influence across groups Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd Understanding of system‑level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory‑mapped IO Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models Background with kernel mode development Experience with Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development Some familiarity with C++, CUDA experience 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. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
