Apply Now Log in to save

Join NVIDIA’s team as a senior engineer responsible for full-stack OS enablement on DGX Station, a personal AI supercomputer designed to bring data-center-class capabilities directly to users’ desks. This hands-on role involves owning Windows platform enablement from initial bring-up through WHQL certification and driving Linux bring-up and validation across various components including firmware, drivers, and AI software stacks. You will collaborate closely with NVIDIA’s internal teams and external partners like Microsoft and ODM/OEMs to ensure seamless integration of DGX Station on both operating systems. Key skills include deep expertise in Windows internals (kernel-mode drivers, ACPI, Secure Boot), Linux platform enablement (device tree/ACPI, systemd, dkms), GPU driver development, and experience with CUDA and AI frameworks. Ideal candidates have a strong background in systems software engineering, particularly in enabling new hardware platforms on both Windows and Linux, and possess excellent debugging and cross-organizational collaboration skills.
