NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It's a unique legacy of innovation that's fueled by great technology-and amazing people. Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.

We offer an outstanding opportunity for a Software Engineer to join our innovative, world-class team. Are you interested in a highly impactful role that contributes to the development of technology powering the most sophisticated data centers worldwide? Using your expertise in embedded platforms, operating systems, and software distribution, you will work with an ambitious, international development team to solve challenges in delivering top-tier platforms.

What you'll be doing:

  • Develop system software components such as processor firmware, boot-loaders, kernel drivers/modules, and user space applications and libraries

  • Collaborate with hardware and product design teams to build software for sophisticated SOC platform designs

  • Support global teams with various customer and internal DPU projects

  • Address complex system-level optimization and resource utilization challenges

  • Engage in all levels of the product development lifecycle, prioritizing clear requirements, software quality, and performance

  • Work within a worldwide matrixed software development team, making a broad impact within our dynamic and technology-centric company

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience

  • 2+ years of experience in developing software for embedded systems, with proficiency in C and Python

  • Strong desire to understand the system software stack, focusing on software/hardware interactions, including platform firmware, device drivers, Linux kernel, and user-space application performance

  • Knowledge of high-performance processor architecture, including CPU and cache coherency concepts, and hardware accelerators

  • Strong engineering skills, including technical investigation, building, testing, and agile software development processes

  • Excellent written and oral communication skills

  • Familiarity with build environment tools such as gcc, git, github, make, bitbake, shell scripts, gerrit, and jenkins

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with ARMv8 microarchitecture, ATF, and/or UEFI software is a strong plus

  • Familiarity with multiple Linux distributions, with the ability to compare and contrast them

  • Knowledge of secure boot flows and/or trusted computing environments

With competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, NVIDIA is widely regarded as one of the most desirable technology employers in the world. Our teams are composed of some of the most forwardthinking and driven engineers in the industry, and we continue to grow rapidly. If you are a senior data engineer passionate about building largescale, highimpact data platforms, we'd love to hear from you.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 116,000 USD - 189,750 USD for Level 2, and 140,000 USD - 224,250 USD for Level 3.
