GPU Simulation System Software Engineer

Job Title

GPU Simulation System Software Engineer

Role Summary

Join the GPU architectural modelling team to develop infrastructure for modeling, analyzing, and debugging large-scale GPUs. The role enables drivers, applications, tests, and studies to run unchanged on functional, diagnostic, and performance models and supports simulations, emulations, and silicon.

Experience Level

Mid-level — approximately 5+ years of relevant software development experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include developing and maintaining simulation infrastructure, coordinating with GPU architects and software teams, and enabling functional and performance testing across models.

• Develop and maintain core infrastructure for GPU simulation, analysis, and debugging.
• Run and validate software applications and drivers directly on simulated GPUs across diverse environments.
• Work at the interface between software drivers and GPU simulation layers.
• Gather instrumentation and testing requirements from GPU architects.
• Enable functional and performance testing for new architectures.
• Collaborate with software teams to deliver production-ready drivers for silicon release.
• Improve workflows and tooling for chip modelers and designers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• 5+ years of relevant software development experience.
• Strong C++ programming skills.
• Familiarity with software driver stacks (compute or graphics).
• Knowledge of object-oriented build patterns.
• Ability to work across GPU and driver stacks.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills; adaptable to changing frameworks and requirements.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with chip or system simulation.
• Strong scripting skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
