Senior System Software Engineer — CPU Platform Pre-Silicon Systems Validation Lead
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior System Software Engineer — CPU Platform Pre-Silicon Systems Validation Lead
Role Summary
Lead system-level validation for CPU programs in the pre-silicon phase. Based in Taiwan and working with US counterparts, this role defines system-level test cases, ensures tests are automated and executed before silicon, and builds tools that use AI to accelerate analysis and verification.
Experience Level
Senior — 8–12 years of relevant firmware or embedded engineering experience (as stated in the posting).
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include defining, implementing, and executing system-level validation and building tooling to support those efforts.
- Own system-level features for CPU programs during pre-silicon and drive feature readiness prior to silicon tape-out.
- Define system-level test cases in collaboration with architects, team leads, and cross-functional engineering teams.
- Ensure system-level tests are written, automated, and executed in the pre-silicon environment.
- Work across varied code bases and modules to diagnose and resolve system-level issues.
- Develop tools and automation to support test development, execution, and analysis.
- Apply AI as part of the engineering workflow to accelerate analysis, tooling, and documentation while validating and applying engineering judgment to AI outputs.
- Share effective AI patterns, prompts, and tools with fellow engineers to improve team productivity.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience required for the role.
- 8–12 years of firmware or embedded engineering experience with demonstrable system-level work.
- Proven ability to collaborate with architects, team leads, and broader engineering teams.
- Experience working across multiple code bases and modules to solve complex system problems.
- Demonstrated experience using AI to build tools and accelerate engineering tasks; ability to verify and override AI output when necessary.
Education Requirements
B.S. degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (the posting states "B.S. degree or equivalent experience").
