NVIDIA DriveOS is the trusted, TÜV SÜD-certified operating system powering sophisticated AI, computer vision, and safety workloads for autonomous driving and AI cockpits. Running on Linux and QNX, it’s the bedrock for world-changing autonomous vehicles.

We seek a driven Senior Engineer who excels at technical mentorship and delivery ownership to join our Tegra System Software team. You will play a key role in advancing the PKCS#11‑based cryptographic abstraction layer for NVIDIA DriveOS across QNX, Linux, and safety/RTOS environments. This is your chance to create a significant contribution to the cyber-security and functional safety of Tegra-powered autonomous and industrial platforms.

What you'll be doing

This role balances around 50/50 between providing technical guidance and Scrum/delivery ownership.

  • Collaborate alongside the Principal Engineer to review functional requirements, refine scope, and estimate effort for PKCS#11 features and cryptographic services

  • Participate in design and code reviews, contributing to technical decisions

  • Lead sprint planning and Scrum execution: organize backlogs, plan sprints, run standups and retrospectives, and track progress toward DriveOS milestones

  • Represent the team in forums related to coordination and delivery, clearly sharing status, risks, and trade-offs

  • Drive project deliverables for the PKCS#11 abstraction layer and test suites, manage escalations, resolve resource conflicts, and recommend practical solutions

  • Deliver documentation and process outputs for ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 quality gates, working with safety, security, and verification leads

  • Guide the verification strategy to ensure thorough coverage and reliability

  • Build a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and collaboration by championing sound engineering practices, thoughtful code reviews, and knowledge sharing

What we need to see

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

  • Strong background in software engineering and project or program management, ideally in embedded or systems domains (automotive, aerospace, defence, telecommunications)

  • 8+ years of experience shipping production software on Linux, QNX, or similar RTOS platforms

  • Track record driving planning and execution: managing backlogs, estimating effort, organizing sprints, and delivering on schedule in complex, multi-site environments

  • Solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals (version control, debugging, code review, systematic testing) to engage in design discussions while empowering senior engineers to own detailed implementation

  • Clear communication and strong analytical problem-solving skills suited to safety- and security-sensitive work

  • Collaborative leadership approach that encourages cross-functional cooperation and open feedback across teams and time zones

  • Curiosity about emerging applied AI to explore agentic workflows for efficiency gains

  • Familiarity with ASPICE, ISO 26262, or similar assessments for software workflows

  • Forward-thinking approach to risk and issue resolution

Ways to stand out from the crowd

  • Experience delivering software with distributed teams and coordinating with hardware, systems, safety, and security groups on shared deliverables

  • Experience with Agile development of complex system software through silicon phases (POR, pre-silicon, bring-up, post-silicon)

  • Hands-on work with cryptography libraries or standards, hardware security modules, and similar security middleware

  • Background in embedded safety-critical systems (automotive, aerospace, industrial, medical, or defence) and related functional safety or cybersecurity processes

  • Experience with test tooling, automation, and CI pipelines for large embedded or security-sensitive codebases

  • Familiarity with NVIDIA technology (Tegra, DriveOS)

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
