Senior Boot Software Engineer

We are now looking for Senior Boot Software Engineer! If you are working on embedded system software and would like to take up unique, novel and exciting challenges, join the System Software team to design and develop our Bootloader (boot flow from system / chip power-on to handover control to kernel) for Tegra SoC to enable Automotive, Embedded and Mobile platforms.

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 enabled the growth of the PC gaming market, reconceived computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited present-day AI — the next era of computing — with GPU acting as the brain of innovative computation; serving Gaming, HPC, Healthcare, Smart-City, Robotics, Automotive (self-driving cars) that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “the AI computing company”. We're looking to grow our company, and establish a team with the most inquisitive people to address some of the world’s hardest problems and discover never-before-seen ways to improve the quality of life for people everywhere.

What you'll be doing :

You will design key aspects of our Tegra SoC Bootloader, with focus on enabling entire range of Tegra platforms to boot various operating systems. This team works on scalability and power to ground-breaking new applications to address the sophisticated engineering challenges.

The responsibility of the Bootloader team is to develop SW to enable the system - CPU and memory initialization and management SW, drivers(IO, storage, HW engines etc) for platform configuration, setting up security parameters and preparing the device by providing system formatting and flashing support. Boot security and performance are at the heart of all bootloader architecture designs in addition to maintaining forward and backward compatibility.

The major roles and responsibilities also includes collaborating with various engineering groups (software, hardware and architecture) to define system requirements, configurations and boot security.

We would like to see your programming, debugging and analytical skills and in-depth understanding of operating systems and processor ISA. Knowledge of Assemblers and binary formats such as ELF, DWARF and understanding of ABI would be very useful.

Prior experience in developing bootloader SW for any embedded, mobile or Automotive products would help you to standout.

Outstanding C programming and low-level driver experience; background and strength with complicated system-level debugging.

Prior knowledge in compiler development in area of instruction scheduling and / or tool development experience in Profiler, Debugger or Linker will be an added advantage.

Experienced with ARMv8 based processor architecture, and experience in board bring-up.

Self-learner and ready to work with an exceptional team.

Excellent proactive communication skill.

Professional and modular approach to complex technical challenges.

Ways to stand out from the crowd :

Proven experience in bootloader development, and bare metal programming.
