Senior System Simulation Architect

Do you want to help drive the development of CPU architectures to fuel the explosive growth in artificial intelligence (AI) / deep learning (DL), high-performance computing (HPC), gaming, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles? Come join the CPU performance architecture team as a Senior System Simulation Architect and help us push performance boundaries for NVIDIA’s line of CPU products! What you’ll be doing Develop full-system functional models capable of running complex multi-threaded heterogeneous (CPU/GPU) workloads – with special focus on the CPU subsystem. Integrate functional models from various frameworks with RTL simulators and emulators, hardware (HW-in-the-loop), and detailed performance models. Bring up system and application software in simulation and emulation – including firmware, Linux, drivers, benchmarks, and CPU/GPU workloads such as deep-learning (DL) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Port/extend/develop system software (firmware, OS, and drivers) to meet workload simulation needs. Support CPU architects and performance engineers in their use of functional models, performance models, and emulation to drive next‑generation CPU architectures. What we need to see BS/MS in EE, CE, or CS or equivalent experience 6 or more years of relevant experience Excellent C/C++/Python programming skills Experience in development of functional simulators and/or low-level software (OS, firmware, drivers); preferably both Excellent debugging skills – of both system software/firmware and application software Experience with the ARM ISA Excellent communication and teamwork skills Ways to stand out from the crowd Experience working with hardware emulators and/or FPGAs Background in CPU workload analysis (SimPoint, etc.) Experience with Linux kernel bringup and debug Familiarity with CUDA Experience with CPU/GPU application development and optimization in Pytorch, TensorFlow, and similar frameworks Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5. Equity and benefits available.
