## Description

Join the Simulation Software team at NVIDIA as a Senior System Software Engineer! This role offers an outstanding opportunity to work on breakthrough technology that drives everything from self-driving cars to advanced AI solutions.

**What you will be doing:**

- Drive early software bring-up on simulation platforms for new chip and platform programs

- Verify platform readiness and validate software functionality in pre-silicon development environments

- Develop scripts, tools, and automation that improve productivity, reliability, and scale for simulation-based software development

- Enable module teams to use simulation platforms effectively for development, debugging, and validation

- Debug complex issues spanning software, platform configuration, infrastructure, and simulation environment interactions

- Improve developer experience for teams using simulation infrastructure through better workflows, diagnostics, and tooling

**What we need to see:**

- BS, MS, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

- 5+ years of relevant software development experience

- Strong C/C++ and Python programming skills

- Hands-on experience with SystemC, VDK, or similar simulation platforms

- Experience with system software bring-up, platform validation, low-level software development, or infrastructure-facing systems engineering

- Strong Linux fundamentals, including shell scripting, process/debug tools, and development workflows

- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software stacks, tools, platform behavior, and system interactions

- Experience building developer tools, automation, test infrastructure, triage workflows, or tooling focused on improving efficiency

- Ability to work across teams and drive technical execution in ambiguous early-development environments

**Ways to stand out from the crowd:**

- Experience with pre-silicon development, primarily Simulation. Emulation, FPGA, virtual platforms would be a plus

- Background with boot flows, drivers, firmware interactions, kernel or platform software, or hardware-software interfaces

- Familiarity with log analysis, failure triage, regression infrastructure, and validation workflows at scale

- Experience enabling other engineering teams through shared tooling, workflows, and technical guidance

- Experience in silicon bring-up, early platform enablement, or transition from pre-silicon to silicon validation

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
