Senior Systems Software Engineer, Windows and Linux Enablement - DGX Station

Job Title

Senior Systems Software Engineer, Windows and Linux Enablement - DGX Station

Role Summary

Owner of end-to-end OS enablement for NVIDIA's DGX Station workstation, with primary responsibility for Windows and strong coverage of Linux. Work spans firmware, drivers, OS integration, CUDA/AI stack readiness, and validation to deliver a production-ready platform.

Collaborate across GPU driver, CUDA, firmware, BMC, AI software teams, Microsoft, and ODM/OEM partners to resolve cross-stack issues and ship a stable developer and enterprise experience.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Requires substantial experience; the posting specifies 12+ years of systems software engineering or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver platform enablement, validation, and documentation for DGX Station on Windows and Linux.

• Own Windows platform enablement from bring-up through WHQL certification and shipping quality.
• Drive Linux bring-up and enablement (kernel modules, device tree/ACPI, systemd, initramfs, dkms, packaging).
• Enable and validate firmware (BIOS/UEFI), BMC, ACPI, Secure Boot, and power management on Arm + GB300 architecture.
• Coordinate GPU/display/compute driver integration and validation across Windows (WDDM/MCDM) and Linux (open-gpu-kernel-modules, DRM/KMS).
• Validate CUDA and AI stack (CUDA toolkit, cuDNN, TensorRT, NCCL) and AI/DL workload performance on both OSes.
• Define and run application and system-level test plans: functional, stress, power/thermal, sleep/resume, update/upgrade compatibility, and long-duration reliability.
• Lead bug triage and cross-team resolution across firmware, BMC, driver, and OS layers.
• Serve as primary technical interface to Microsoft and OEM/ODM partners; coordinate schedules and resolve blockers.
• Document bring-up guides, known issues, recovery procedures, driver compatibility matrices, and developer setup instructions.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items noted separately.

• 12+ years of systems software engineering experience with deep expertise in Windows platform enablement, driver development, or OS integration.
• Strong Windows internals knowledge: kernel-mode drivers, ACPI, power management, Secure Boot, UEFI, WDM/WDF frameworks, and WHQL process.
• Proven Linux platform enablement experience: kernel modules, device tree / ACPI on Arm, systemd, initramfs, dkms, and packaging for Ubuntu/DGX OS.
• Experience with GPU driver stack, display or compute drivers on Windows and/or Linux; familiarity with DirectX, WDDM, DRM/KMS, and GPU compute APIs.
• Hands-on debugging and root-cause analysis across firmware, driver, and OS boundaries (WinDbg, kd/kgdb/crash, crash dump analysis, ftrace/ETW, profiling tools).
• Ability to coordinate across multiple internal teams and external partners to drive platform readiness.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python.

Preferred:

• Experience with Windows on Arm platforms and Arm architecture.
• Hands-on experience with CUDA, TensorRT, or AI/ML frameworks on Windows and Linux.
• Experience with BMC, Redfish, out-of-band management, or platform manageability software.
• Track record shipping workstation or server hardware from bring-up through general availability.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
