Job description

We are seeking engineers to contribute to the CUDA driver, a key component for enhancing general purpose computation on NVIDIA GPUs. The team focuses on delivering features and improvements that leverage NVIDIA hardware for various computational tasks, including deep learning and gaming. This role requires strong system software programming skills and a solid understanding of operating systems and hardware architecture. Collaboration with hardware and software engineers is essential to develop and deploy functional aspects of NVIDIA hardware.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 2+ years of relevant systems software development experience
  • Strong C programming skills and knowledge of parallel programming
  • Excellent knowledge of computer system architectures
  • Experience with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory
  • Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs
  • Background with working with large codebases
  • Good written communication and strong collaborative skills

Responsibilities

  • Develop software in pre-silicon environments including simulation and emulation
  • Own and drive CUDA enablement for new silicon and architecture
  • Collaborate with software and hardware teams to develop, stabilize, and productize CUDA features for new chips and systems
  • Promote, architect, and implement new features, contributing to the bring-up of CUDA on new chips
  • Help define improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model while driving development efforts across multiple teams
  • Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested code
  • Develop code for multiple operating systems

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.
