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.
