NVIDIA is searching for a creative and highly motivated engineer with expertise in system software to join the Tegra System Software organization. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from consumer graphics to self-driving cars and the growing field of artificial intelligence.

What you'll be doing:

• Support development of (bare metal/RTOS) firmware run on embedded microcontrollers within NVIDIA GPUs.

• Collaborate with the hardware and software teams to architect new features and guide future development.

• Optimize software to improve system robustness, performance and security.

• Participate in testing new and existing firmware.

• Perform system bring-up, debug, and validation.

• Ensure compliance to functional safety standards (ISO 26262 and ASPICE). This includes defining requirements, architecture and design with end-to-end traceability, performing safety analyses - FMEA/DFA/FTA and ensuring code compliance to MISRA and Cert-C standards.

What we need to see:

• BS/BE/Btech or MS/ME/Mtech degree in Electronics/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree (or equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of relevant software development experience.

• Outstanding C programming and low-level driver experience.

• Understanding of OS concept and different scheduling algorithms.

• Understanding of the software development life-cycle, from requirements to testing closure and maintenance

• Familiarity with general HW concepts

• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate with on-site and remote teams

• Strong debugging and analytical skills

• Self-starter and ability to work and communicate effectively across multiple geographies in a dynamic matrix organization

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Previous experience in firmware development for GPUs

• Understanding of GPU software kernel driver and firmware

• Experience in Pre-Silicon/Post-Silicon bring up of complex SoCs

• You can design simple systems that work reliably without needing much support

• SW development experience in accordance to ISO26262, ASPICE or similar standards

We are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, and as a result have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. So if you're clever, creative, and driven, we'd love to have you join the team.
