  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of experience in a related hardware/software position
  • Strong C/C++ programming and Python skills
  • Familiarity with computer architecture and ability to work close to the hardware
  • Background with PCIE, NVLink, or server IO technologies like Infiniband or Ethernet is a plus
  • Previous experience working on a large system software code base is preferable
  • Very strong problem solving and debugging skills
  • Ability to self-manage, show leadership, and have good interpersonal skills

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with architecture, hardware, and driver teams through the product development lifecycle of computing and graphics processors
  • Craft software tools and infrastructure required for new chip development, validation, and productization
  • Assess new hardware features and architect diagnostic software using pre-beta CUDA extensions
  • Understand the hardware and software architectures to provide robust solutions

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.
