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 Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
