NVIDIA is seeking a software engineer to join the Embedded Platform Middleware team, focusing on developing foundational system software for data sharing and synchronization across various computing platforms. The role emphasizes creating middleware APIs with a strong commitment to developer experience and safety standards. Candidates will collaborate with hardware and firmware engineers to optimize performance in embedded environments. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology in autonomous vehicles and robotics.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of relevant software development experience.
  • Strong proficiency in C and modern C++.
  • Deep experience with embedded systems and system architecture, including multi-threaded software.
  • Strong understanding of operating systems internals, including memory management and synchronization primitives.
  • Hands-on experience with the Linux kernel, including drivers and kernel-space development.
  • Experience delivering safety-critical software following ISO 26262 or equivalent processes.
  • Proven track record of driving solutions from concept to production in cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design and evolve middleware APIs for buffer sharing and inter-process communication.
  • Lead end-to-end feature development that meets automotive safety and security standards.
  • Optimize performance in resource-constrained embedded environments.
  • Drive technical direction across teams and simplify system architecture.
  • Modernize software building practices by introducing automation and static analysis.
  • Mentor team members and represent the platform in cross-organizational discussions.

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.
