System Software Engineer, HPC Performance

NVIDIA’s products, hardware and software, are world leaders for performance and efficiency. We are continually innovating in creative and unique ways to improve our ability to deliver extraordinary solutions across a wide range of sectors. We are seeking System Software Engineers who are passionate about what they do and are committed to making a difference in the world through their inventions.

In the Software Development Tools Team, we enable 1st & 3rd-party developers to turn NVIDIA’s hardware into groundbreaking cluster, server, professional, consumer, automotive, and embedded solutions.

What you will be doing:

• This position will be enhancing and expanding network hardware and software profiling tools. Implementation will be primarily in C/C++ with some Python for analysis scripting. You’ll work with customers and engineers across teams to explore problems, find solutions, write functional requirements docs and designs, drive execution, and deliver multi-functional software solutions.
• Partner with system architects, product definition engineers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW applications engineers and operations, in a multifaceted, dynamic, high-energy work environment to bring industry-defining products to market.
• Be involved with the premiere multi-discipline GPU+CPU+networking profiling tool in the industry. You will have the opportunity to work with researchers and real world developers who are doing important work to improve computers and computing systems.
• Build software tools that enable developers across a spectrum of markets to optimize their workflows; enable complex computer systems doing ongoing work in High Performance Computing(HPC), Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Machines, pro-visualization, and even entertainment. Enable work in tiny embedded and automotive systems. Our tools span the gamut.

• BS, MS, or PhD in EE, CE, CS, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum of 5 years of service in a related hardware/software position.
• Excellent problem solving, collaborative, and interpersonal skills. Experience working with international teams preferred.
• Experience creating monitoring, profiling, or optimization software tools for developers working on large scale systems. This includes both classic HPC and cloud computing environments.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with multiple architectures (x86, ARM, Power) or multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS).
• Proven track record of crafting engineering designs, driving them to consensus within teams, and bringing them to fruition.
• Understanding of the intricacies of complex computer hardware and how that affects performance. Experience with low level hardware a major plus.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD.
