NVIDIA pioneers innovative tech in computer graphics, gaming, and AI, seeking Sr System SW Engineers in Pune, India.

What you'll be doing:

• Design, implement, and debug changes in the NVIDIA SW stack to take next‑generation HW from design/development stage to production, with a focus on kernel‑mode SW.

• Develop and optimize CPU, GPU, and platform‑level power‑management features, including power‑state transitions, DVFS tuning, residency improvements, and system idle/active power optimization.

• Own bring‑up and hardening of power‑related kernel and embedded firmware components, ensuring accurate interactions between SOC subsystems, PMU firmware, regulators, and OS‑level power frameworks.

• Follow devices throughout the development lifecycle into customer desktops, notebooks, workstations, and datacenter systems — ensuring efficient performance‑per‑watt, thermal‑aware scheduling, and system resilience.

• Be heavily involved in emulation, silicon bring‑up, power/perf validation, and product hardening required to build our groundbreaking products.

• Collaborate globally with cross‑functional teams (HW, firmware, OS, platform power teams) to drive end‑to‑end power behavior, telemetry debugging, and optimization across the full system stack.

What we need to see:

• 5+ years of experience with 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 (SW + HW) 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.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with x86/ARM power frameworks.

• Familiarity with AI or ML-based power optimization approaches.
