We are building a high-impact team at the forefront of architectural innovation, and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to be a key contributor. In this role, you’ll develop software-based functional models and simulators to explore, validate, and influence the architecture of our next-generation NVIDIA switches. You will work closely with architects and design teams, contributing to the design and performance evaluation of cutting-edge systems. This is a rare opportunity to shape architectural decisions from the ground up while working in a fast-paced, exploratory environment. What you'll be doing: + Develop high-performance C++ and SystemC models of hardware blocks and subsystems. + Create simulation infrastructure and toolchains for evaluating new hardware designs. + Work autonomously to define, design, and implement modeling features. + Collaborate across architecture, design, and software teams to refine system-level behavior and define new methodologies. + Take technical ownership and demonstrate natural leadership within the team and across groups. What we need to see: + BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience. + 10+ years of experience in firmware, embedded software, or RTL simulations. + Extensive hands-on experience with modern C++ and object-oriented design principles. + Strong understanding of SW-HW flows. + Strong analytical thinking and excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. + Proven ability to work independently and drive ideas from concept to execution. + Deep understanding of system integration and experience working with diverse technology components. + Strong debugging and problem-solving skills. Ways to stand out from the crowd: + Knowledge and understanding of networking and compute systems. + Experience with SystemC, TLM, or other hardware modeling frameworks. NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking people in the world working for us. Are you a creative and autonomous engineer who loves a challenge? Are you ready to become the engineer you always wanted to be? Come and be part of the best physical design team in the industry!
