Details

We are hiring software engineers to work on the CUDA driver, a core component of our platform for accelerating general purpose computation on the GPU. The team delivers features and improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for computational workloads including deep learning, scientific computation, self-driving cars, video games, and virtual reality.

CUDA defines a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities. The CUDA driver interacts with GPU hardware, kernel mode drivers, and the operating system. The Unified Memory kernel driver provides kernel memory management that enables these advanced features.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement new features for new chips and new kernel features.
  • Coordinate with other teams across NVIDIA to accomplish work daily.
  • Help define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model.
  • Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested kernel and userspace code.
  • Develop code for multiple Linux operating systems.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong C programming skills.
  • Minimum of 10+ years of related development experience.
  • Experience working with large codebases.
  • Background with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory.
  • Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs.
  • Good written communication skills.

Ways to stand out

  • Understanding of system level architecture (interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, memory-mapped IO).
  • Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models.
  • Experience with kernel mode development.
  • Experience with Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development.
  • Some familiarity with C++.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary ranges (USD): Level 4: 184,000 - 287,500; Level 5: 224,000 - 356,500. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
  • You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
