Senior Software Engineer, Chips System Software

NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated Senior Software Engineer to join the Chips System Software organization. You will design and develop key aspects of chip-specific kernel drivers and embedded software, focusing on Linux kernel development, Core OS enablement, Chip and Platform Bring-up, and automation across pre-silicon and silicon platforms.

In this role, you will work closely with hardware, silicon, pre-silicon, and software teams to enable next-generation Chips from early modeling and simulation through production deployment. The ideal candidate is self-driven with strong technical ownership who enjoys solving complex hardware and software integration challenges while driving projects end-to-end.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and verify features for next-generation Chips architecture, collaborating with hardware engineers and fellow software engineers.
• Influence hardware architecture and system software design through architecture reviews, design specifications, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Work closely with hardware, silicon, and pre-silicon teams to bring up new platforms, products, and prototype systems.
• Enable Linux and core operating system software across simulation, emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
• Debug and resolve complex hardware and software integration issues across multiple layers of the software stack.

Requirements:

• BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of relevant software development experience.
• Hands-on technical experience and demonstrated excellence in environments involving complex hardware and software designs.
• Strong expertise in C programming, Linux kernel development, and core operating system software.
• Experience developing and debugging Linux device drivers.
• Strong background in complex system-level debugging and root cause analysis.
• Familiarity with computer architecture fundamentals including caches, buses, memory controllers, DMA, interrupts, and low-level hardware interactions.
• Demonstrated ability to independently drive projects from design through deployment with strong end-to-end ownership.

Benefits:

• Equity
