Senior Software Engineer, Low Latency Physical AI Sensor Systems

About the role

The Holoscan Sensor Bridge (HSB) is a critical component of NVIDIA's mission to transform machine perception and interaction. It enables real-time AI by streaming sensor data directly into GPU memory with minimal latency.

Responsibilities

• Design and build high-performance, low-latency data pipelines from sensors to GPU memory using RDMA, Ethernet, and GPUDirect.
• Develop and optimize system software, drivers, and APIs for seamless sensor integration and streaming.
• Enable the integration of diverse sensors into the Holoscan ecosystem.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and AI teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Contribute to a platform that significantly reduces sensor integration complexity.

Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (BS or MS), or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of experience in systems programming (C/C++, Python) and Linux internals.
• Deep understanding of networking (TCP/UDP, RDMA, kernel bypass, high-throughput systems).
• Experience with real-time operating systems or low-latency systems.
• Familiarity with hardware/software interfaces (PCIe, DMA, FPGA, SPI, I2C, I2S).
• Solid debugging skills across complex, multi-component systems.
• Experience working closely with hardware and performance bottlenecks.
• Solid understanding and hands-on experience with AI coding tools like Claude, Codex, and Cursor.

Qualifications

• Experience with CUDA / GPU programming.
• Knowledge of sensor pipelines (camera, radar, RF, medical imaging, IMU sensors).
• Exposure to distributed systems or edge computing platforms.
• Background in robotics, healthcare devices, or high-speed data acquisition.
• Familiarity with agentic AI tooling and experience applying multi-agent systems to engineering workflows.

Skills

• Strong C/C++ programming skills.
• Linux kernel and driver development experience.
• Networking protocols and RDMA expertise.
• Real-time operating systems and low-latency systems knowledge.
• Hardware/software interfaces and sensor integration experience.
• AI and machine learning tools proficiency.
