Job description

This role involves developing tools and libraries for modeling and simulating next-generation chip architectures at NVIDIA. You will support architecture and engineering teams, helping them build efficient hardware models. Your expertise in SystemC, C++, and architecture will be crucial in solving complex modeling problems. This position offers the opportunity to work on transformative technology that impacts software development for NVIDIA hardware.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in the field.
  • A Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, along with 10+ years of relevant work experience.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and C, with a solid understanding of build systems, toolchains, and libraries.
  • Proven background in Computer Architecture with experience in modeling using SystemC and Transaction Level Modelling.
  • Familiarity with Docker, Jenkins, Python, and Perl.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and constructively within a distributed team environment.

Responsibilities

  • Develop the tools, libraries, and environments to model and simulate next-generation chip architectures.
  • Support the architecture and engineering teams by enabling them to build their models on top of this advanced environment.
  • Implement solutions to complex modeling problems using expertise in SystemC, C++, and architecture.
  • Guide and influence teams that model GPU features to build efficient hardware models.
  • Document, develop, and build tools to analyze, simulate, validate, and verify models with precision.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
