About the role

Senior system software engineer focused on GPU power management, designing and implementing kernel-mode software, developing power management features, and supporting GPU architecture validation across desktops, notebooks, workstations, and data center products.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and debug kernel-mode NVIDIA software for next-generation hardware through production.
  • Develop and optimize CPU, GPU, and platform power management features, including DVFS, power states, residency improvements, and idle/active power.
  • Own bring-up and hardening of power-related kernel and firmware components across SOC, PMU, regulators, and OS frameworks.
  • Support GPU products across Desktop, Notebook, Workstation, and Data Center customers through production, optimizing performance-per-watt, thermal-aware scheduling, and system resilience.
  • Drive emulation, silicon bring-up, power/performance validation, and product hardening.
  • Collaborate globally across hardware, firmware, OS, and platform teams on end-to-end power behavior, telemetry, and optimization.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience with a BS or MS degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
  • Familiarity with computer system architecture, microprocessor, and microcontroller fundamentals (caches, buses, memory controllers, DMA, etc.).
  • Strong Operating Systems fundamentals with kernel experience on Windows Operating Systems.
  • Understanding of CPU/GPU power-state machines (C-states, P-states, clock/power gating), platform power controllers, DVFS, ACPI/Modern Standby, and SOC-level low-power modes is a strong plus.
  • Strong C programming background and strength with system-level (software + hardware) debugging, especially power, performance, and thermal interactions.
  • Familiarity with platform low-power concepts, PMIC interfaces, VR efficiency tuning, residency analytics, idle-power optimization, or power telemetry debugging.
