Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a skilled professional to join their GPU architectural modeling team, focusing on developing core infrastructure for modeling, analyzing, and debugging graphics and computing chips. The role involves collaborating with GPU architects and software teams to enhance performance testing and improve workflows for chip modelers. Candidates will work in a dynamic environment, contributing to the next generation of GPU technology. This position requires strong programming skills and a deep understanding of the software driver stack.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree 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)
  • Strong C++ programming capability
  • Knowledge of object-oriented build patterns
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Flexibility and adaptability for working in a dynamic environment

Responsibilities

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

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.
