GPU Driver Profiler Engineer

Kernel Driver Engineer

At NVIDIA, we build groundbreaking products for the following sectors: Deep Learning, High Performance Computing, Gaming, VR, and Automotive. 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 the performance analysis capabilities of NVIDIA hardware along with the Nsight tools and the GPU foundation library to support next generation accelerated computing at datacenter scale.

As a kernel driver engineer in our team, you'll build software solutions across platforms like Data Center, PC, and Embedded Systems. You'll develop and maintain GPU kernel and firmware modules that support NVIDIA's performance profiling tools. 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:

• Revising/updating/testing kernel interfaces and reviewing code used by the Developer Tools team

• Collect requirements from software developer tools' features and work with the kernel team to co-design new interfaces

• Implementation of new features as well as HAL to support new GPU architectures

• Support various OS's and driver architectures: Windows WDDM, Linux Desktop, Mobile Linux and QNX.

• Contribute to next-gen architectures (both SW and HW)

What We Need To See:

• B.S. EE/CS or equivalent experience with 2+ years of experience or M.S. with 1+ years' experience, or Ph.D.

• Strong programming ability in C, C++, and scripting languages.

• Quick learner, willing to dive in where needed and debug complex code and UMD/KMD interactions

• Driver experience (preferably kernel driver)

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• CPU or GPU HW architecture knowledge

• Familiarity with power, performance, clock control within the kernel

• Knowledge of a GPU API such as: CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL, OpenGL ES, DirectX, or console graphics API

• Good understanding of embedded environments such as embedded Linux, or a real-time OS
