Senior Compute System Software Engineer

NVIDIA GPUs have ignited a new era of computing with the advent of AI, for which the GPU acts as the brain of computers. Robotics, self-driving cars, industrial automation, and many other domains benefit from the computing power of GPUs. The high-quality and robust GPU software stack simplifies the realization of complex use cases. This has been possible because of the amazing group of people working here at NVIDIA who made this happen. As we shift gears with the GenAI revolution and are going more towards GenAI assisted design and development, we are also taking up on solving some of the challenges that come with it. Formal verification of GenAI produced contents remains one of the important challenges.

We are now looking for a Senior System Software Engineer in the Compute System software team to work on defining and bootstrapping initiatives for formal verification of the SW architecture and design of the user mode drivers that interact with GPU, DLA and other Tegra compute engines.

What you’ll be doing: You will be involved in the definition, architectural design and analysis, and development of groundbreaking functional safety software, with an opportunity to shape the future of parallel computation on GPUs as well as DLA and other engines.

Bootstrap initiatives in defining and laying down the company wide process for formal verification.
