Job description

We are seeking senior engineers to enhance the CUDA driver, a vital component for accelerating general purpose computation on NVIDIA GPUs. The role involves collaboration with hardware and software engineers to develop, debug, and deploy features that leverage NVIDIA hardware for various computational tasks. Candidates should possess strong system software programming skills and a deep understanding of operating systems and hardware architecture. The position offers opportunities to contribute to the design of new compute and graphics drivers and GPU architectures.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 5+ 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, hardware, and relevant teams to develop and stabilize CUDA features for new chips and systems
  • Promote, architect, and implement new features while 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.
