Senior System Software Engineer - Firmware

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled 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.

This is our life’s work — to amplify human imagination and intelligence. NVIDIA Tegra platform is at the forefront of the computing revolution and providing powerful solutions for embedded and automotive markets. Now, we are now looking for a System Software Engineer in Automotive or Embedded field! You will work directly in developing or integrating NVIDIA software technologies into various NVIDIA Tegra platforms, including platform bring up, driver porting and integration, use case development, and problem solving. The candidate might work with the other team to provide deep technical assistance and also assist HW to achieve fully optimized design with NVIDIA products and provide HW feedback as to product features and software improvements.

As a valued member of our team, your primary responsibility will be to develop safety-critical firmware and middleware specifically designed for ARM-based CPUs. Your role will directly contribute to the advancement of NVIDIA’s automotive autonomous software, supporting both current and future generation hardware platforms. In this position, familiarity with more than one RTOS is considered advantageous.
 

What you'll be doing:

• Design, develop and maintain embedded software for ARM based CPUs that enables NVIDIA platforms to run safety‑critical applications.
