Senior Software Engineer, Functional Safety Tools

Details

At NVIDIA, we are building the system, hardware, and software technology which enables autonomous driving. Our safety engineering team is currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help develop tools, methodologies, and flows required by the next generation of system on chip (SoC) and board products for autonomous driving. The functional safety analysis of complex SoCs and boards requires creative solutions to challenging engineering problems. The functional safety tools team is responsible for enabling and accelerating the development work of teams building the next generation of functionally safe autonomous vehicles. The team is highly collaborative with a broad scope, high visibility, and myriad opportunities for important contributions. If you are an engineer with a passion for improving how things are done and you love to innovate to increase quality, safety, and efficiency, then you are exactly what we are looking for!

Responsibilities

You will be working closely with internal safety engineering teams to deliver innovative tools, methodologies, and flows to enable and improve functional safety development. Specific responsibilities of the Software Engineer role include:

• Crafting and developing new tools or new features in existing tools to improve the consolidation and documentation of safety related data extracted from silicon design data.
• Collaborate within the team and cross functionally to establish design data flows and to drive improvements that enable the quantitative safety analysis for highly complex SoCs and boards.
• Create tools that coordinate collection or analysis of data across multiple platforms and tools to drive quality of data and improved cohesion at the SoC project level.
• Working to speed-up the integration of design data from third party suppliers as well as improving the clarity of design data provided to customers.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience (or an advanced degree).
• 5+ years of proven track record in the development of software based tools used in the automation of work tasks, data management, and engineering infrastructure.
• Strong problem solving and software engineering skills, a passion for applying them to new challenges and a dedication to high quality work.
• Proven track record of conceptualizing, designing, and implementing modular and robust software components with well-thought-out APIs and thorough documentation.
• Expertise in Python, Pearl or a similar language and an understanding of object-oriented programming.
• A strong desire to work in a collaborative team where you will regularly learn new things, tackle new problems, share ideas, and give and receive feedback.
• Excellent analytical, interpersonal, and written and verbal communication skills.
