Senior Manager, Software Engineering - CUDA Driver

We are looking for experienced software professionals to lead/extend to work on the CUDA driver, a core component of our platform for accelerating general purpose computation on the GPU. Our team delivers features and improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for a growing range of computational workloads, ranging from deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars to video games and virtual reality!

CUDA defines a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities. To accomplish this, the CUDA driver interacts with GPU hardware, kernel mode drivers, switches and the operating system. As a member of our team, you will use your design abilities, coding expertise, and creativity to deliver the best Compute platform in the world. You will craft elegant solutions to exciting problems and craft the future direction of CUDA as you collaborate with your peers across NVIDIA.

What you'll be doing:

• As a member of our team, you will use your leadership skills, design abilities, coding expertise, creativity to evangelize, architect, and implement new CUDA features

• Work closely with Product Management and Program Management teams to help collect requirements for your products as well as contribute to the development of roadmaps  and  oversee and drive development efforts across multiple teams

• Collaborate with members of hardware architecture teams

• Understand and address unique challenges in developing and deploying forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model

• Design and maintain performance and precision modeling

• Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested code

• Develop code for multiple operating systems

What we need to see:

• BS, MS or PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience) 

• 12+ overall years of relevant industry experience or equivalent academic experience after BS 

• 3+ years of experience recruiting, training and leading software engineering teams 

• Strong C programming skills

• Experience designing, debugging, and maintaining complex software stacks

• Background with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory

• Experience with HW/SW co-design, perf. modeling using emulation/simulation, creating SW programming model exposures for HW features  

• Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communications skills with a capability to achieve objectives under tight deadlines

• Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and influence within a dynamic matrix environment

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Deep understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO

• Experience designing and implementing drivers programming rich HW acceleration engines and software verification test plans.

• Knowledge of CPU, GPU architectures, memory coherence and consistency models

• Some familiarity with kernel mode development

• Some background with C++ 

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 272,000 USD - 425,500 USD.Applications for this job will be accepted at least until December 21, 2025.
