Develop firmware and tools for gaming monitors, coordinate feature development, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to product innovation.
The summary above was generated by AI

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our 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 AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to pursue, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence.

We are now looking for a Senior Embedded Software Developer!

What you’ll be doing:

  • Develop firmware and tools for GSYNC gaming monitors

  • Work with other teams at NVIDIA to coordinate development of new gaming features

  • Contribute ideas for next generations of monitors and GPU’s

  • Investigate and root cause issues and develop fixes

  • Work in a small, business focused team that brings real products to market

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS (preferred) degree or equivalent experience in CE or EE

  • 6+ years of relevant work experience

  • C Programming Language and Embedded Software Engineering experience

  • Low-level Software Engineering for Embedded System Architectures including Microcontrollers, Microprocessors, and peripherals

  • Familiarity with device drivers, interrupt-driven design, and low-level hardware-software integration

  • Proficiency in debugging and troubleshooting embedded systems using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and software debuggers

  • Understanding of compilers

  • Experience with version control systems, especially Git, for collaborative and distributed development

  • Proficiency in version control workflows, including branching, merging, and pull requests using Git

  • Understanding of software optimization at the System on a Chip (SoC) level

  • Working knowledge of embedded Linux, including kernel modules, device drivers, and user-space applications

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience coding under RTOS like Zephyr

  • Hardware experience (FPGA development, reading schematics)

  • Experience using CMake, Python

  • Video and/or audio signal processing background

  • Linux experience (kernel modules, device drivers, user-space applications)

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. Are you creative and autonomous? Do you love the challenge of constant innovation and creating the highest performance products in the industry? If so, we want to hear from you.

The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 356,500 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
