Job Title

Software Engineer, Hardware-Oriented

Role Summary

Develop Python-based software and GUI tools on Linux to control NVIDIA hardware and support internal engineering teams (chip designers, algorithm engineers, PHY characterization, optics, and other R&D groups). The role focuses on building and maintaining a framework and delivering production-ready solutions that interface with hardware and low-level drivers.

Experience Level

Entry-level. 1–2 years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Contribute across the full lifecycle of internal engineering tools and frameworks.

• Design, implement, and maintain Python-based frameworks, internal tools, and GUI applications.
• Collaborate with chip designers, algorithm and optics engineers, and characterization teams to translate requirements into robust solutions.
• Integrate software with hardware interfaces and low-level drivers on Linux.
• Own project lifecycle: requirements, architecture, implementation, integration, and support.
• Apply OOP principles and design patterns to produce scalable, maintainable architectures.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications and skills.

• 1–2 years of relevant software engineering experience focused on hardware-oriented systems.
• Proficiency in Object-Oriented Programming and design patterns.
• Experience with GUI development (PyQt or similar frameworks).
• Hands-on experience with Linux systems and software/hardware interaction; exposure to drivers.
• Interest in hardware systems, circuits, or engineering workflows; strong analytical and communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with SerDes, optics, or related hardware.
• Experience with DevOps/CI-CD or containerized development environments.
• Knowledge of REST APIs and backend frameworks (Django, FastAPI) and data validation tools (Pydantic).
