Principal System Software Engineer - CUDA Driver

NVIDIASanta Clara, CA
$272,000 - $431,250

About The Position

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 deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars to video games and virtual reality! CUDA defines a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities. To accomplish this, the CUDA driver interacts with GPU hardware, kernel mode drivers, switches and the operating system.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 15+ years of relevant systems software development experience
  • Strong C programming skills
  • Experience designing, debugging, and maintaining complex software stacks
  • Background with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory
  • Experience with HW/SW co-design, perf. modeling using emulation/simulation, creating SW programming model exposures for HW features
  • Expert interpersonal, verbal, and written communications skills with a capability to achieve objectives under tight deadlines
  • Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic matrix environment

Nice To Haves

  • Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO
  • Designing and implementing drivers programming rich HW acceleration engines and software verification testplans.
  • Knowledge of CPU, GPU architectures, memory coherence and consistency models
  • Some background with kernel mode development
  • Some familiarity with C++

Responsibilities

  • Evangelize, architect, and implement new CUDA features
  • Oversee and drive development efforts across multiple teams
  • Collaborate with members of hardware architecture teams
  • Help define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model
  • Design and maintain performance and precision modeling
  • Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested code
  • Develop code for multiple operating systems
