Job description

We are looking for a senior engineer to improve GPU system software and the way that software is built. You will work on firmware, a real-time operating system, driver interfaces, and the build, test, and execution infrastructure that supports them. When a new approach improves on the current one, you will carry it from design through implementation, bring-up, and support after release, so other engineers can build on it.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Improve the product and the process used to build, test, and run it.
  • Design and implement firmware and real-time operating system changes, and the driver interface that connects them with the rest of the system.
  • Use current development tools, including tools that generate and check code, and make those tools part of how the team develops and validates software.
  • Work with hardware and software partners in other locations to resolve issues and deliver the result.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in system software, embedded software, or a related field
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of meaningful experience.
  • Experience writing software in C, and scripting to build, test, or run that software
  • Background with embedded software, a real-time operating system, and device drivers, and with low-level interfaces such as interrupts, GPIO, DMA, PCIe, or I2C
  • Experience delivering software you were accountable for, from design through release and support

Ways to stand out in a crowd:

  • Experience using AI development tools to write, review, and test software more efficiently
  • Background with embedded software for power, thermal, or performance and experience designing real-time control software
  • Experience with operating system internals, kernel modules, or computer architecture
  • Experience with firmware security or safety
  • Background with Rust

We have some of the most forward-thinking and dedicated people in the world working for us. If you’re creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you.
