Design, implement, debug, and optimize kernel-mode GPU and platform power-management software. Develop DVFS, power-state, residency, thermal, and performance features; bring up and harden kernel and firmware components across SoCs, PMUs, regulators, and operating systems. Support emulation, silicon validation, product hardening, and global collaboration across hardware, firmware, OS, and platform teams for next-generation NVIDIA processors.
We are now looking for a Senior System Software Engineer - GPU Power Management! NVIDIA is searching for a dedicated system software engineer to join the GPU Power Management Software team in Pune. This outstanding opportunity will allow you to work alongside a group of versatile software and hardware engineers, using a wide variety of technologies. You will play a key role in power management software architecture, development, and implementation, and support the GPU architecture and validation of our next generation of processors before launch. The ideal candidate excels at combining deep technical expertise with broad interpersonal influence.
What you'll be doing:
- Design, implement, and debug kernel-mode NVIDIA software for next-generation hardware through production.
- Develop and optimize CPU, GPU, and platform power management features, including DVFS, power states, residency improvements, and idle/active power.
- Own bring-up and hardening of power-related kernel and firmware components across SOC, PMU, regulators, and OS frameworks.
- Support GPU products across Desktop, Notebook, Workstation, and Data Center customers through production, optimizing performance-per-watt, thermal-aware scheduling, and system resilience.
- Drive emulation, silicon bring-up, power/performance validation, and product hardening.
- Collaborate globally across hardware, firmware, OS, and platform teams on end-to-end power behavior, telemetry, and optimization.
What we need to see:
- 5+ years of experience with a 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 (software + hardware) 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.
- Experience with Windows & Linux power management.
- Prior cross-company partnership on power architecture defining firmware/software power interfaces.
- Familiarity with AI or ML-based power optimization approaches.
