NVIDIA jobs - System Software Engineer

At , we build groundbreaking products for the following sectors: VR, Gaming, Deep Learning, Automotive, and High Performance Computing. See your efforts in action as developers use your tools to debug, profile and analyze the performance of their systems/applications using the low-level library that you helped to craft as a member of the GPU Foundations Developer Tools team. Innovate as you develop new features for our SDK library to support current and future generations of GPUs. Help inventors the world over who will depend on the creative products that you worked on to deliver.

As a GPU profiling engineer, you will develop software that empowers GPU developers to build applications that are known throughout the world. We are seeking a senior software developer to join our effort to advance the state of the art of software performance tuning applications that utilize GPUs. You will utilize your knowledge gained of NVIDIA chip architectures to improve our tools that provide meaningful feedback to application developers. As a software engineer in the Developer Tools organization, you will be establishing software solutions for a variety of platforms such as PC’s, Embedded Systems, Game Consoles and other platforms working directly with our GPUs at a low level. You will have direct impact on the performance analysis software mechanisms that our team provides. You should be comfortable working in existing driver code and application code as well as writing new shared libraries and targeted GPU performance tests.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Work with multi-disciplinary teams to design, implement, and verify performance metrics and collection methodologies for NVIDIA GPUs.
• Innovate and improve our GPU profiling library with new features to allow developers to extract the best performance out of their applications.
  
• Understand and utilize the NVIDIA GPU performance monitoring system.
  
• Work with NVIDIA's GPU Architecture and Developer Technology teams to refine data collection methodology and practices and add to our library.
  
• Get an opportunity to develop new tools for GPUs running on a variety of platforms.
  

What We Need To See
