We are hiring senior engineers to work on the CUDA driver, a core component of our platform for accelerating general purpose computation on the GPU. Our team delivers features and improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for a growing range of computational workloads, ranging from across deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars, video games and virtual reality.

CUDA helps define a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities accomplished through CUDA driver interaction with GPU hardware, kernel mode drivers, and the operating system. This role incorporates strong system software programming skills, a detailed understanding of operating systems and kernel programming, hardware architecture, as well as excellent communication and planning skills. You will work closely with both hardware engineers and other software engineers to craft, develop, debug and deploy many functional aspects of NVIDIA hardware and mobile system-on-chip (SOC) devices!

What you'll be doing:

You can expect be heavily involved through all aspects of development of our world-class products, ranging up front from design feedback, early modeling, simulation of hardware in pre-silicon environments, all the way through to early silicon bringup and final feature deployment in production software ultimately delivered to end users. You should be eager to learn about, and contribute to, the design of new compute and graphics drivers and new GPU architectures!

In this role, you will:

• Develop Software on Pre-Si environments(Simulation/Emulation)

• Own and drive CUDA enablement for new Silicon and Architecture

• Work with SW, HW and relevant teams to develop, stabilize and productize CUDA features for new chips and systems

• Promote, architect, and implement new features, as well as own contribution to bring up of CUDA on new chips

• Help define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model, while driving development efforts across multiple teams

• Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested code

• Developing code for multiple operating systems

What we need to see:

• 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, 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

• Deep understanding of technology and passionate about what you do

• Good written communication as well as strong collaborative skills and ability to effectively guide and influence across groups

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO

• Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models

• Background with kernel mode development

• Experience with Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development

• Some familiarity with C++, CUDA experience

The base salary range is 148,000 USD - 276,000 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/benefits/) . NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
