System Software Engineer - CUDA Chips

Job Title

System Software Engineer - CUDA Chips

Role Summary

Work on the CUDA driver to enable GPU-accelerated computation across new NVIDIA silicon and architectures. The role spans pre-silicon simulation and emulation, early silicon bring-up, feature development, debugging, and production software delivery.

Experience Level

Entry-level. The team expects approximately 2+ years of relevant systems software development experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on designing, implementing, and stabilizing CUDA features for new chips and systems, collaborating with hardware and software teams.

• Develop software in pre-silicon environments (simulation/emulation).
• Drive CUDA enablement for new silicon and architectures.
• Work with software, hardware, and cross-functional teams to stabilize and productize features.
• Architect and implement new CUDA features and contribute to chip bring-up.
• Contribute to API and programming-model improvements across teams.
• Write maintainable, well-tested code for multiple operating systems.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• Strong C programming skills and knowledge of parallel programming.
• Deep knowledge of computer system architectures and large codebases.
• Experience with OS interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory.
• Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs.
• Effective written communication and collaboration skills; able to influence across groups.

Education Requirements

BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice-to-have

Preferred skills that strengthen candidacy.

• Understanding of system-level architecture (interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, MMIO).
• Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models.
• Kernel-mode development and driver experience (Windows, Linux, or macOS).
• Familiarity with C++ and CUDA.
