Job description
The Senior SoC Software Engineer will play a crucial role in developing software for complex heterogeneous computing systems that drive AI, HPC, and accelerated computing workloads. This position involves collaborating with a world-class team to enhance server products from early silicon to deployment, focusing on performance, reliability, and efficiency. The engineer will work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, operating systems, and AI, tackling challenging system-level problems. This role is ideal for a creative software engineer passionate about low-level technology and innovative computing solutions.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Strong C and C++ programming skills, including object-oriented design and development.
- Experience with low-level systems software, device drivers, firmware, or hardware-facing programming.
- A strong understanding of processor architecture fundamentals, preferably ARM.
- Exceptional problem-solving and debugging skills, particularly for issues spanning multiple layers of the system.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and planning skills, with the ability to lead technically complex initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop SoC software, validation solutions, and test frameworks that efficiently validate and stress complex SoCs and systems throughout the complete software development lifecycle.
- Pioneer next-generation system validation and reliability software that accelerates the journey from virtual prototypes and first silicon to production-ready hardware.
- Spearhead initiatives that improve the efficiency, intelligence, robustness, and user experience of software used for design validation, thermal and power characterization, manufacturing screening, and customer platform bring-up.
- Investigate and drive root-cause analysis of highly complex board- and system-level failures across hardware and software boundaries.
- Collaborate across the company and with customers and partners to bring next-generation computing platforms to life.
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.
