About the role
NVIDIA Aerial CUDA Accelerated RAN is framework for building high-performance, software-defined, cloud-native Radio Access Network functions over NVIDIA CPU/GPU/DPU based systems. We are seeking a self-motivated senior software engineer to drive development, performance and scalability of our platform. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology for 5G and 6G networks, using NVIDIA's world-class compute platforms to advance the field of software-defined digital signal processing stack!
As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
What you will be doing:
* Lead design and development of ground breaking end-to-end reference system stack for 5G/6G baseband system. * Optimizing CPU, GPU and NIC sub-systems for predictable low-latency and maximum throughput * Collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve performance bottlenecks in CPU, GPU and NIC sub-systems * Work in lab environment to trouble-shoot and integrate complex software modules. * Develop software, implementing new baseband functions in C/C++/Python/CUDA on a GPU platform. * Support system integration, performance testing, system demonstration and lab trials for end-to-end system. * Be a technical bridge between engineering team and partners/customers engineering team. Engage with customer field trials and technical teams. * Help in implementing missing features to unblock progress at customers/partners and in benchmarking and develop/evaluate test tools for Aerial SDK evaluation.
What we need to see:
* Our ideal candidate has a wireless communication systems or digital signal processing background, a passion for building real-world carrier-grade communication systems, and industry experience developing PHY/MAC layer or base band unit (BBU) software in C/C++. * Understanding of the PHY/MAC layer procedures and typical performance tradeoffs, as well as overall system performance. * Background with LTE/5G MAC and PHY from both systems and low-level 3GPP spec point of view. Ability to switch between high-level systems view and low-level detail view of complex wireless systems. * Comfortable using wireless lab equipment such as signal generators, network analyzers, power meters, etc. Exposure to CUDA/GPU programming is a plus. * MS or PhD in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or Telecommunications (or equivalent experience) * 8+ years of work-related proven experience in software development, systems engineering. * Ability to work as an individual contributor or take a technical leadership role. Strong written and oral communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with management and engineering. * Experience in the telecommunications industry or with customers/partners in the telecommunications domain. * Strong time-management and organization skills for coordinating multiple initiatives, priorities and implementations of new technology and products into very complex projects. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
