You're a systems software engineer with at least two years of relevant experience and a BS/MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent. You have a strong grasp of C programming, operating systems, and computer architectures. **What makes it worth a look...** This full-time, on-site role at NVIDIA in Santa Clara, CA offers a base salary between $124,000 and $195,500 USD, plus eligibility for equity and benefits. You'll work on the core CUDA driver, a critical component for accelerating computation on GPU hardware across various demanding fields. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have strong C programming skills and knowledge of parallel programming. * Possess excellent knowledge of computer system architectures and operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory. * Have experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs and working with large codebases. * Are familiar with kernel mode development or system-level architecture concepts.
We are hiring 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!
What you'll be doing:
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!
In this role, you will:
