Principal System Software Engineer - CUDA Driver

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. What You'll Be Doing

• You will evangelize, architect, and implement new CUDA features
• You'll 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

• 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

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• You have an 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+

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD.
