  • 5+ years of relevant software development experience
  • Proven leadership skills and strong ownership on past projects
  • Hands-on technical experience with complex software and hardware designs
  • Outstanding C programming and low-level driver experience
  • Experience with ARM based processor architecture
  • Familiarity with computer system architecture, microprocessor, and microcontroller fundamentals

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop and verify features for the next generation SoC architecture
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers and fellow software engineers
  • Engage in early modeling simulation required for product development
  • Work closely with hardware, silicon, and pre-silicon teams to bring up new platforms and products
  • Craft, develop, unit test, document and maintain features for Tegra SoCs
  • Influence hardware architecture and system software by creating architecture and design specifications

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.
