It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.\nJoin the Simulation Software team at NVIDIA as a Senior System Software Engineer! This role offers an outstanding opportunity to work on breakthrough technology that drives everything from self-driving cars to advanced AI solutions. Our Mission is to accelerate early System Software development by enabling Chips Simulation as a trusted and reliable virtual platform.\nWhat you will be doing:\nDrive early software bring-up on simulation platforms for new chip and platform programs\nVerify platform readiness and validate software functionality in pre-silicon development environments\nDevelop scripts, tools, and automation that improve productivity, reliability, and scale for simulation-based software development\nEnable module teams to use simulation platforms effectively for development, debugging, and validation\nDebug complex issues spanning software, platform configuration, infrastructure, and simulation environment interactions\nImprove developer experience for teams using simulation infrastructure through better workflows, diagnostics, and tooling\nWhat we need to see:\nBS, MS, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field\n5+ years of relevant software development experience.\nStrong C/C++ and Python programming skills\nHands-on experience with SystemC, VDK, or similar simulation platforms\nExperience with system software bring-up, platform validation, low-level software development, or infrastructure-facing systems engineering\nStrong Linux fundamentals, including shell scripting, process/debug tools, and development workflows\nStrong debugging and problem-solving skills across software stacks, tools, platform behavior, and system interactions\nExperience building developer tools, automation, test infrastructure, triage workflows, or tooling focused on improving efficiency\nAbility to work across teams and drive technical execution in ambiguous early-development environments\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nExperience with pre-silicon development, primarily Simulation. Emulation, FPGA, virtual platforms would be a plus.\nBackground with boot flows, drivers, firmware interactions, kernel or platform software, or hardware-software interfaces\nFamiliarity with log analysis, failure triage, regression infrastructure, and validation workflows at scale\nExperience enabling other engineering teams through shared tooling, workflows, and technical guidance\nExperience in silicon bring-up, early platform enablement, or transition from pre-silicon to silicon validation\nWidely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD.\nYou will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until August 14, 2026.\nThis posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
