Nvidia is hiring a system software principal architect to develop software for its Space-1 orbital computing project. Insider reported that the company posted the role in recent weeks, following an earlier opening this year for an orbital data center system architect.
The new position focuses on software that can operate in space conditions, including radiation exposure and extreme temperature changes, while allowing remote management.
Space-1 uses Nvidia's Vera Rubin AI chip platform and targets low-Earth orbit missions. The role requires prior experience building AI infrastructure and space-based systems. Nvidia unveiled Space-1 at its GTC event in March.
The job listing offers a base salary between $272,000 and $431,250, excluding equity awards. During a recent earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang stated that the economics around space computing are poor today but will improve over time. Insider reported that the postings indicate Nvidia is shifting from planning to building the required systems.
