Job description

We are seeking software engineers to work on next-generation high-speed interconnect technologies. Our charter is to develop the most demanding high-speed IO applications a GPU or high-performance computing server will encounter in its lifecycle, by collaborating closely with hardware architects, silicon designers, and platform software experts to support innovation in factories and data centers. The best candidates will have strong C++ programming skills, detailed knowledge of networking concepts and algorithms, a solid foundation of systems software with emphasis on OS fundamentals, and a deep understanding of current generation hardware architecture at systems level. Excellent communication skills and a dedication to meticulous engineering practices are a requirement. As a system software engineer, you will extensively use your knowledge of operating systems, algorithms, and computer architecture to provide robust and efficient solutions to validate and test next generation processors.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Working closely with architecture, hardware and driver teams through the product development lifecycle of computing and graphics processors, as well as compute products.
  • Responsible for crafting software tools and infrastructure required for new chip development, validation, and productization.
  • You will assess new hardware features and architect diagnostic software using pre-beta CUDA extensions.
  • This job will require an understanding of our hardware and software architectures.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in one of the areas of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • 8+ years experience in a related hardware/software position
  • Strong C/C++ programming skills
  • Familiarity with computer architecture, and ability to work close to the hardware
  • Background with PCIE, NVLink or server IO technologies like Infiniband, Ethernet is a plus
  • Previous experience of working on a large system software code base is preferable
  • Very strong problem solving and debugging skills
  • Ability to self-manage, show leadership, and have good interpersonal skills

Benefits & conditions

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.
