NVIDIA is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the CSP Engagements team, focusing on system software for Datacenter products like GB200. This role requires a blend of technical expertise in embedded firmware, Linux kernel development, and middleware, along with customer-facing responsibilities. The engineer will work at the intersection of hardware and software, driving solutions from concept to deployment. The position involves collaboration with Cloud Service Providers to deliver next-generation computing platforms.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in data center server architectures and HPC systems.
  • Expert knowledge of Linux kernel internals and device drivers.
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python.
  • 10+ years of system software development experience.
  • BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop software solutions for data center servers.
  • Lead hardware bring-up activities and BSP development.
  • Partner with CSPs to deliver technical solutions and support.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on end-to-end solutions.
  • Perform advanced system debugging and performance optimization.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
