About the role

Senior System Simulation Architect to drive full-system functional models and simulation for NVIDIA CPU performance architecture, focusing on CPU subsystem, integration with RTL simulators, emulators, and HW-in-the-loop for AI/DL, HPC, gaming, VR, and autonomous vehicle workloads.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 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
