## Description

As a Tegra System Software Engineer at NVIDIA, you will play a pivotal role in crafting the next generation of computing.

Our team is dedicated to developing world-class systems and solutions that power everything from AI to self-driving cars.

**Responsibilities**

- Designing, crafting and developing system software relevant to ARM's Trusted Firmware Stack.

- Build and improve agentic workflows for trusted firmware engineering, spanning tasks such as codebase exploration, change planning, implementation support, bring-up, debugging, test execution, and documentation.

- Create reusable workflow components, tools, or skills that connect AI assistants to approved engineering context and systems, such as source repositories, technical documentation, issue trackers, build environments, and test infrastructure.

- Define clear validation and review steps for AI-assisted work. Evaluate generated changes and results for correctness, security, reliability, and maintainability before they are integrated.

- Work across firmware and system software interfaces, including early boot, EL3 runtime services, power management, operating system and hypervisors.

- Involving in sophisticated and next generation CPU architecture that drives our Tegra platform.

- Work with upstream community to develop software for latest ARM technologies such as Confidential Compute and help drive improvements to various specs such as PSCI, FFA, RMI.

- Participate in architectural explorations which include feasibility studies, safety evaluations and CPU performance analysis.
