Senior Tegra Diagnostic Software Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

NVIDIA is hiring a Senior Tegra Diagnostic Software Engineer to join their System Software group. The role involves building and maintaining software for complex heterogeneous computing systems used in server, auto, and embedded products, powering AI, HPC, and accelerated computing workloads. Responsibilities include developing drivers, tests, and frameworks, participating in system architecture analysis, and improving software efficiency and robustness for design validation, characterization, and customer bring-up. The role requires strong C/C++ programming, low-level driver experience, and processor architecture understanding.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop drivers/tests and frameworks that can most efficiently stress the SOC/System and to see them through the full software development lifecycle. This can include working in user-space, kernel, firmware or boot software of SOC.
  2. Participating in overall system architecture analysis and collaborate with internal software teams and define/design use cases that can push the SOC/system to hit limits of power, noise patterns and bandwidth metrics
  3. Spearhead various initiatives to improve efficiency, robustness and user friendliness of the software we deliver for design validation, thermal & power characterization, manufacturing screening, and external customers bring up.
  4. Understand and participate in the debug /root cause analysis of very complex data center module/rack level failures. Recommend remediations and drive SW architecture improvements when applicable.
  5. Communicate optimally with various teams throughout the company, as well as customers and partners.
