NVIDIA's invention of the GPU in 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're looking to grow our company, and build our teams with the smartest people in the world. Join us at the forefront of technological advancement.
We are seeking a senior software engineer to work in our CUDA system software team. You will have strong system software programming skills, a thorough understanding of operating systems and kernel programming, a deep understanding of hardware architecture, and excellent communication and planning skills. You will work closely with both hardware engineers and other software engineers to design, develop, debug and deploy many functional aspects of NVIDIA hardware and mobile system-on-chip (SOC) devices.
