## Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior System Software Engineer to help build NVIDIA Halos, a full-stack safety platform for physical AI: autonomous vehicles, humanoids, industrial robots, and intelligent machines that sense, decide, and act in the real world.

The role sits at the intersection of embedded systems, rich operating systems, safety, security, virtualization, and accelerated computing. You will architect, design, develop, and debug system software for NVIDIA Halos OS across QNX, Linux, and hypervisor-based environments.

**Responsibilities:**

- Architect, design, develop, and debug system software for NVIDIA Halos OS across QNX, Linux, and hypervisor-based environments.

- Design and develop BSP and I/O Virtualization solutions, boot, driver, diagnostics, and platform software for mixed-criticality systems on NVIDIA SoCs and edge AI platforms.

- Develop safe and secure software aligned with ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 standards by maximizing the use of Formal Methods.

- Bring up and optimize next-generation NVIDIA platforms, working closely with ASIC, firmware, OS, safety, security, and platform teams.

- Use GenAI and AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate debugging, test development, code review, documentation, requirements analysis, and workflow automation.

- Design debugging, tracing, logging, and performance-analysis solutions that improve developer experience.

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's/Master's or equivalent experience in Computer Science.

- 8+ years of experience in System Software architecture, developing solutions for complex system problems, and development for real-time embedded systems.

- Strong understanding of computer architecture and operating system fundamentals.

- Strong C and/or Ada/SPARK programming and debugging skills.

- Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools for coding, debugging, testing, documentation, or workflow automation.

- Hands-on experience with debugging tools, performance analysis, and system analyzer tools.

- A dedicated, team and results-oriented, self-motivated contributor with excellent analytical and interpersonal skills.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- In-depth knowledge of embedded systems and real-time operating systems, like QNX and RT Linux skills.

- Good understanding of ARM architecture and low-level software development for ARM v8-based SoCs.

- Prior hands-on experience in Ada/SPARK programming (including specification and formal verification) and TLA+ formal verification modeling.

- Background in software development in compliance with ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 standards.

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
