Senior System Software Engineer - Embedded Controller

About the role

We are looking for a senior engineer to improve GPU system software and the way that software is built. You will work on firmware, a real-time operating system, driver interfaces, and the build, test, and execution infrastructure that supports them. When a new approach improves on the current one, you will carry it from design through implementation, bring-up, and support after release, so other engineers can build on it.

Applications will be accepted at least until September 26, 2026.

Responsibilities

• Improve the product and the process used to build, test, and run it.
• Design and implement firmware and real-time operating system changes, and the driver interface that connects them with the rest of the system.
• Use current development tools, including tools that generate and check code, and make those tools part of how the team develops and validates software.
• Work with hardware and software partners in other locations to resolve issues and deliver the result.

Requirements

• Proven experience in system software, embedded software, or a related field.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of meaningful experience.
• Experience writing software in C, and scripting to build, test, or run that software.
• Background with embedded software, a real-time operating system, and device drivers, and with low-level interfaces such as interrupts, GPIO, DMA, PCIe, or I2C.
• Experience delivering software you were accountable for, from design through release and support.

Preferred Skills

• Experience using AI development tools to write, review, and test software more efficiently.
• Background with embedded software for power, thermal, or performance and experience designing real-time control software.
• Experience with operating system internals, kernel modules, or computer architecture.
• Experience with firmware security or safety.
• Background with Rust.
