Senior GPU Software Engineer

Overview

We are now looking for a Sr Software Engineer. NVIDIA's invention of the GPU 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company”. We are looking to grow our company , and grow our teams with the smartest people in the world

Software supports NVIDIA's new high performance chipset business. They are generalists, with a deep understanding of the today's PC architecture, including bus protocols such as PCI, AGP, USB and 1394, and CPU booting, arbitration, and cache management protocols. System engineers program down to the metal and are comfortable around hardware specs. They write software for Networking, Audio, IDE, SMBus and other hardware, and implement support for modern PC standards such as ACPI and OnNow

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and validating software for our next-generation GPU platform.
• Solve and debug problems related to Memory, ACPI, Graphics, and Display to support our customers, partners, and users.
• Investigating and scoping out the architecture requirement for the next-generation GPU systems.
• Investigate and debug hard hangs across various system components (CPU, memory, I/O).
• Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and OS teams to isolate root causes.
• Utilize hardware debug tools (e.g., JTAG) and software diagnostics.
• Collect and analyze crash dumps, logs, and signal traces.
• Support validation and bring-up activities for new hardware platforms.
• Provide feedback for design improvements.
