Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a creative engineer with extensive experience in Linux kernel mode drivers to join a new team focused on developing future GPU driver software. The role involves making significant architectural decisions that will influence NVIDIA's software landscape. The engineer will work closely with the Linux kernel community and contribute to the design and implementation of kernel mode drivers for NVIDIA GPUs. This position offers the chance to impact the intersection of GPU and Linux kernel roadmaps.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of industry experience as a software developer
  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Experience in developing device drivers and kernel mode software
  • Direct experience in Linux kernel development with a proven track record of successfully upstreaming patches

Responsibilities

  • Work with a small team on a new kernel mode Linux driver that supports the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs
  • Collaborate directly with the Linux kernel community to create patches for NVIDIA hardware
  • Influence the architecture and design of NVIDIA GPU kernel software for upstream compatibility
  • Represent NVIDIA GPU software to the open source community

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.
