Develop and maintain production-quality GPU and display kernel-mode drivers, embedded firmware, and system software for Linux and Android. Implement HDCP and other display-content-protection features, debug hardware-software interoperability issues, and build automated tests and diagnostic tools. The role requires strong C programming, operating-system and concurrency knowledge, low-level debugging, and collaboration with hardware, firmware, security, and external partner teams.
NVIDIA is seeking an outstanding Senior System Software Engineer to join our Display Driver team. You will develop production-quality system software for next-generation NVIDIA GPU and Tegra platforms, working across operating systems such as Linux and Android.
The role combines broad kernel-mode driver development with opportunities to work on display security technologies, including High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). You will collaborate with hardware, firmware, security, and system software teams to deliver reliable and secure display solutions.
What you’ll be doing
- Design, develop, test, and maintain GPU/display kernel-mode drivers and embedded firmware.
- Develop system software across Linux, Android or similar operating system.
- Implement and maintain HDCP and related display-content-protection functionality.
- Debug interactions across software, firmware, hardware, and external display devices.
- Develop multithreaded, performance-sensitive software in C.
- Participate in design, code, and security reviews.
- Build automated tests and diagnostic tools to improve reliability and interoperability.
- Collaborate with teams across NVIDIA and external partners throughout the product lifecycle.
What we need to see
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience developing system software, embedded software, firmware, or kernel-mode drivers.
- Strong C programming and debugging skills.
- Solid understanding of operating-system fundamentals, computer architecture, memory management, synchronization, and concurrency.
- Experience developing low-level software on Linux, Android, or a similar operating system.
- Familiarity with secure protocols, cryptographic concepts, authentication, key management, or content-protection technologies.
- Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Experience implementing or debugging HDCP 1.x/2.x authentication and content-protection flows.
- Knowledge of HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, DDC/I²C, or DisplayPort AUX protocols.
- Experience with Linux DRM/KMS or graphics/display kernel drivers.
- Familiarity with trusted execution environments, secure firmware, hardware security modules, or secure key provisioning.
- Experience in debugging display interoperability, or content-protection certification issues.
