System Software Engineer

NVIDIA has been redefining computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for decades. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company” — with the GPU deep learning ignited modern AI, acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars etc. We are hiring a System Software Engineer who will help build outstanding simulators for GPU and SoC products. Simulations play a meaningful role in building scalable systems at Speed of Light! You will work with world-class engineering teams across HW and SW to build scalable simulation platforms for SW development not only in the pre-silicon stage but even after the HW platforms are available.

What you’ll be doing:

1. Drive requirements, architecture, and roadmap of best-in-class GPU & SoC Simulation Platforms.
2. Build & enhance simulator with new SoC features, improve simulation performance, fix bugs across user and kernel stacks & automate system for regression testing.
3. Bring up the full SW stack on SoC Simulator; work closely with hardware modeling, kernel & platform driver teams distributed globally.

What we need to see:

1. BE degree or higher (Computer science or equivalent experience).
2. 5+ years of relevant experience.
3. Proficient in C / C++ programming with strong user & kernel mode debugging skills in a multi-threaded environment.
4. Clear understanding of OS fundamentals, computer system architecture, and low-level interfaces such as buses, controllers, interrupts etc.
5. Working experience in both Linux & Windows environments (Programming, debugging, modular make/build system etc.)
6. Strong articulation skills for crafting and improving technical documents and engaging globally distributed engineering teams.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

1. Experience in virtualization, hypervisors & building HW simulators, like in Qemu, KVM, VDK, SIMICs etc.
2. Experience in HW & SW stack bring-up using Simulators & Emulators etc.
3. Understanding of the Windows OS internals, kernel mode debugging & Driver Model (WDM/WDDM/MCDM etc).
4. Familiarity with hardware interfaces such as DDR4/5, PCIe, SPI, or I2C and with Linux Boot or Core Boot solutions on ARM class platforms.
