Details

We are seeking a System Software Engineer to work on next-generation computing and graphics products. The charter is to build the most stressful set of applications a GPU or high performance computing server would see in its life cycle. The role requires strong engineering practices, close collaboration with hardware and driver teams, and hands-on work validating and testing next-generation processors.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with architecture, hardware, and driver teams through the product development life cycle of computing and graphics processors and compute products.
  • Craft software tools and infrastructure required for new chip development, validation, and productization.
  • Assess new hardware features and architect manufacturing diagnostic tests using pre-beta CUDA and Vulkan extensions.
  • Explore ways to use high-level compute and graphics programming APIs to stress specific units and flows at a GPU and system level.
  • Use knowledge of hardware and software architectures to provide robust and efficient solutions for validation and testing of next-generation processors.

Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
  • 2+ years proven experience in a related hardware/software position.
  • Strong C/C++ programming skills.
  • Thorough knowledge of graphics concepts and algorithms.
  • Solid foundation in systems software with emphasis on OS fundamentals and operating systems.
  • Deep understanding of current generation hardware architecture and ability to work close to the hardware.
  • Background with Parallel Computing, PCIe (PCIE), NVLink, or server product technologies like InfiniBand and Ethernet is a plus.
  • Previous experience working on a large system software code base is preferable.
  • Very strong problem solving and debugging skills.
  • Ability to self-manage, show leadership, and possess good interpersonal skills.
