TL;DR · Senior Hypervisor and RTOS Engineer

The Senior Hypervisor and RTOS Engineer joins the Hypervisor and RTOS Team within NVIDIA DRIVE Software to support the expansion into artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. This role involves designing and developing new features for the RTOS and hypervisor software stack while bringing up and optimizing these stacks on new NVIDIA Tegra SoCs. The engineer will develop high-integrity software using best-in-class engineering, safety, and security practices to facilitate the sharing and separation of system resources. Key responsibilities include debugging complex system-level issues across hardware, firmware, RTOS, and virtualization layers. Required skills include systems programming in C/C++, embedded software development, and a deep understanding of RTOS concepts and hardware-assisted virtualization. The work focuses on achieving real-time, safety, and security requirements for highly available system-level components.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop new features for the RTOS and hypervisor software stack.
  • Bring up and optimize RTOS and hypervisor stacks on new NVIDIA Tegra SoCs.
  • Develop high-integrity software using best-in-class engineering, safety, and security practices.
  • Debug complex system-level issues across hardware, firmware, RTOS, and virtualization layers.
  • Lead team-wide technical initiatives by building alignment and coordinating execution to completion.
  • Ensure software meets real-time, safety, and security requirements for autonomous vehicles.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS in CS/CE/EE or a related engineering field or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of experience.
  • Strong systems programming experience in C/C++ and embedded software development.
  • Deep understanding of RTOS concepts, operating-system internals, and hardware-assisted virtualization.
  • Strong technical leadership, collaboration, and communication skills with experience driving cross-team initiatives.
  • Knowledge of Automotive quality standards, ASPICE, ISO 26262, ISO 21434 (preferred).
  • A track record of influencing technical direction, aligning stakeholders, and driving complex, team-wide initiatives through completion (preferred).
