System Software Engineer, GPU Development Tools
NVIDIAJob Title
System Software Engineer, GPU Development Tools
Role Summary
Develop core infrastructure and tooling to generate stimulus, analyze behavior, and debug upcoming general-purpose graphics and compute GPUs. Work on frameworks used for functional and performance verification across architects, driver developers, and verification engineers.
The team designs and implements high-quality system software and simulation infrastructure to accelerate GPU development and verification throughout the chip lifecycle.
Experience Level
Mid-level — typically requires 4+ years of professional software development experience, with substantial experience on C++ projects.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and architect features in compute and graphics stimulus frameworks (CUDA/OpenGL-like environments).
- Develop core infrastructure to generate stimulus for modeling, analysis, and debugging of GPU architectures.
- Coordinate with GPU architects to define and implement infrastructure for functional and performance verification.
- Design and build analysis tools such as debuggers, disassemblers, and performance analysis utilities.
- Collaborate with hardware and software teams to enable rapid development of the GPU software ecosystem.
- Improve workflows for chip modelers and designers to increase verification and development efficiency.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience:
- 4+ years of professional experience, with a large portion working on C++ projects.
- Strong C++ programming skills (experience with C++11/14 or Boost is a plus).
- Good understanding of object-oriented design patterns.
- Practical knowledge of system software and operating systems.
- Experience designing and developing complex, massively parallel algorithms.
- Strong scripting skills for automation and tooling.
- Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with chip or system simulation.
- Graphics or CUDA knowledge; familiarity with OpenGL, Vulkan, Direct3D, or CUDA APIs.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
