Senior Platform Software Engineer, AI Server - GPU

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern deep learning — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and 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 teams with the most thoughtful people in the world. NVIDIA GH200 superchip provides performance and productivity required for strong scaling for HPC and generative AI workload.Scale out is inherent to design of this massive superchip. We are looking for expert engineers to come and help design rack level solutions for next generation scaling AI supercomputing platforms. We are looking for a strong technical platform software engineer focused on PCIe firmware, you will own PCIe stack for all NVIDIA GPU servers from firmware and software perspective. You will work with various leads internally and externally, drive customer use cases, align architecture with customer requirements and release best products to market. Join us at the forefront of technological advancement. What you’ll be doing: Drive and deliver innovations for GPU based AI server with focus on PCIe architecture, system engineering, software/firmware changes as per processor & I/O architecture. Define system architecture to optimize I/O performance for various GPU applications. Debugging complex system issues due to GPU, I/O bus (PCIe, etc.) and CPU. Architecting complex systems, I/O error handling from PCIe & other I/O buses and processor viewpoint, fault management for degraded mode operation of the system per datacenter requirements and improve resiliency of a GPU based systems Identify gaps in platform debuggability and drive solutions to improve speed and correctness of issue closure. Identify new technologies, features to improve performance, functionality, uptime of GPU systems to make it the most performant, secure, and reliable server for AI workloads. Work across the industry chooses and enables new and required technologies and brings those to AI servers in the most efficient way. Contribute to all phases of product development, from product definition and architecture and design, through implementation, debugging, testing and early customer support.
