GPU Simulation System Software Engineer

NVIDIASanta Clara, CA
$152,000 - $241,500Hybrid

About The Position

Help build the future of GPU architecture as part of our GPU architectural modelling team. A core element of NVIDIA's success lies in our sophisticated development tools and simulation environments, which facilitate our rapid delivery of new technology to market. We are searching for transformative, diligent, and creative professionals to become part of a dynamic software team with rigorous production-quality standards. Our projects include building chip simulations in software, developing chip test authoring languages and tools, and driving performance enhancements. Nvidia persistently pushes forward the frontier of chip development tools and infrastructure to enable the next wave of chips. In this position, you will develop the core infrastructure for modeling, analyzing, and debugging large-scale, general-purpose graphics and computing chips. This infrastructure allows our driver stack, applications, tests, and studies to run unchanged on all functional, diagnostic, and performance models. It also supports simulations, emulations, and silicon for all our GPUs.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of relevant software development work experience
  • Understanding of the software driver stack, either in compute (CUDA) or graphics (DX, OpenGL, or Vulkan)
  • Ability to work across the GPU and driver stacks
  • Strong C++ programming capability
  • Knowledge of object-oriented build patterns
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Flexibility/adaptability for working in a dynamic environment with different frameworks and requirements

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with chip and/or system simulation
  • Strong scripting skills

Responsibilities

  • Play a critical part in every stage of development of a GPU
  • Thrive at the interface between software drivers and the GPU simulation
  • Become the specialist for running SW applications directly on simulated GPUs in diverse environments
  • Gather instrumentation requirements from GPU architects who research next-gen improvements
  • Coordinate with GPU architects to enable functional and performance testing for the next architecture
  • Work closely with SW teams to help them deliver production-ready drivers when silicon goes to market
  • Spectacularly improve the daily workflows of top chip modelers and designers to help produce the next greatest generation of GPUs
