About the role

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior System Software Integration and Debug Engineer to own end-to-end software integration across firmware, BSP, drivers, GPU software, services, test and release systems; lead system-level debugging; and collaborate with cross-functional teams to enable features and ensure cross-component integration.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end software integration strategy for products across firmware, BSP, drivers, GPU software, services, test and release systems.
  • Lead system-level debugging of boot failures, hangs, crashes, unexpected resets, power-transition failures, performance regressions, update failures, and firmware/driver interactions.
  • Use crash dumps, event logs, traces, UART output, firmware logs, telemetry, and hardware diagnostics to isolate failures across system layers.
  • Build automated failure classification that distinguishes product defects from infrastructure, configuration, device, test-harness, and flaky-test failures.
  • Drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions for escaped defects, integration failures, and recurring infrastructure problems.
  • Integrate OEM and partner software into the NVIDIA software stack to ensure compliance, stability, and power/performance benchmarks for production platforms.
  • Work closely with multi-functional teams to prioritize issues across all BSP components—firmware, drivers, kernel, and hardware layers.
  • Collaborate with architecture, silicon, firmware, and OS engineering teams to enable new features and ensure flawless cross-component integration.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience, with 12+ years of relevant software development experience.
  • Strong understanding of ARM microarchitecture and exception levels, with an emphasis on integration, triage, and debugging.
  • Understanding of SoC architecture spanning Boot, Security, Power, and OS bring-up. Good understanding of ACPI and Device Tree concepts.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for automation and validation tooling.
  • Solid understanding of Kernel and Hypervisor internals on both Windows and Linux systems.
  • Experience integrating drivers/firmware and debugging kernel components, with a specific focus on Windows. Background in solving problems within large, complex systems deployed at scale.
