A key part of NVIDIA's strength is our sophisticated development tools and modelling environments that enable our incredible pace of delivering new technology to market. We are looking for forward-thinking, hard-working, and creative people to join a multifaceted software team with high production-quality standards. This software engineering role involves developing high-level chip models, test APIs and trace generation workflows, and analysis tools. As a member of the software development team, you will engineer and improve the core infrastructure for execution, automation, and debugging the development of large-scale, general-purpose graphics and computing chips. This infrastructure enables our driver stack, applications, tests, and studies to run unchanged on all functional, diagnostic, and performance models.
What you’ll be doing:
• This role will require you to play a critical part in every stage of development of a GPU!
• Improve the daily workflows of the world’s top chip modelers and designers to help produce the next greatest generation of GPUs.
• Empower GPU architects to understand application performance today and model competition-destroying performance for tomorrow.
• Coordinate with architecture and software teams to enable functional and performance testing for the next architecture.
What we need to see:
• Bachelor's or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related major
• 2+ years of experience
• Aptitude to work across the GPU, driver, and application stacks
• Strong C/C++ is a must-have capability
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• Python programming experience (a plus).
• AI related knowledges (a plus)
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• Know-how working on operating system kernels or writing device drivers with strong systems-level debugging skills
• A knowledge of GPU APIs such as DirectX, CUDA, Vulkan or OpenGL
• Experience with chip and/or system simulation
• Deep understanding of systems architecture: CPU, GPU, memory, display, buses, kernel internals would be helpful
• Advanced programming expertise with full-stack web based visualization technologies to help provide data insights.
