Role Description

We are hiring software engineers to work on Project Nova, the new in-tree, open-source NVIDIA GPU driver for Linux written in Rust. Nova is the long-term replacement for the kernel-mode portion of the current Linux GPU stack developed by NVIDIA. The role covers ongoing work on Linux subsystem infrastructure built with Rust that Nova and other collaboratively developed Rust drivers depend on.

Nova exists within the mainline Linux kernel and is developed publicly. Development occurs through discussions within the kernel mailing threads alongside Nouveau, the DRM subsystem, and the Rust for Linux community.


Our team builds the kernel-side abstractions that make a modern GPU driver possible in Rust, including driver core, PCI configuration, DMA address translation, device input/output and IRQ, devres, auxiliary bus, firmware loader, together with the Rust allocator shim.
