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!

Key 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.

Requirements:

• 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

Nice to Have:

• 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
