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.
What we need to see
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.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Background and strength with sophisticated system-level debugging is invaluable
Experience working on system-level reliability and resiliency features.
Experience products integration and deliverables E2E
Familiarity with system-level security concepts
Experience with embedded system SW concepts.
