You will be architecting and developing new features and improvements to realize the groundbreaking potential of NVIDIA mobile systems, ranging from self-driving cars, intelligent video analytics and autonomous mobile robotics. You will need to demonstrate excellent technical leadership, communication, interpersonal, and analytical skills as well as a real passion for performance-oriented software engineering. If this sounds like a fun challenge, we want to hear from you!

What you will be doing:

• Evolve and define software architecture for future NVIDIA's Programmable Vision Accelerator (PVA) chips and enhance the functionality of currently shipping products.
• Design and write custom embedded software for PVA engine to meet product and hardware requirements at the SoC level.
• Help defining forward-looking strategy and improvements to the PVA algorithms and system architecture.
• Review hardware specifications and map algorithms to the architecture.
• Participate in the bring-up of the new generation of the world's most advanced SoC.
• Collaborate closely with other teams and software/hardware architects across NVIDIA to support the architecture, design, creation, integration, and validation of PVA software under a common SoC umbrella.
• Provide technical support and guidance for internal and external customers.
• Mentor and guide technical development of the less experienced team members

What we need to see:

• College degree (preferably PhD or MS) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of working experience in embedded industry, including 5+ years in technical leadership role
• Deep understanding of SoC principles, general systems architectures, operating systems, device drivers, memory management, multithreading, and real-time scheduling.
• Deep understanding and working experience with embedded technologies including DSP, computer vision and image/signal processing.
• Excellent software development skills (C, C++) and outstanding problem-solving capabilities.
• Proven expertise in architecting embedded software and development of highly optimized code for DSP, SIMD and/or VLIW processors
• Experience with embedded Linux and/or QNX.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills with ability to work in a global and diverse team operating in a fast-paced environment.
• Good understanding of safety-critical software principles with experience in automotive or other highly regulated industries

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 or equivalent quality/safety processes.
• Understanding of software safety and safety development processes is a major plus.
• Consistent record to effectively guide and influence in a technically strong dynamic environment.
