What is simulation software?

Simulation software is a type of computer program that models real-world systems, processes, or environments to study their behavior under various conditions. It allows users to test scenarios, predict outcomes, and optimize designs without the cost or risk of physical experiments. Simulation software is widely used in industries like engineering, healthcare, aviation, and manufacturing for purposes such as product development, training, and research. The software can range from simple models to highly complex, multi-physics simulations depending on the application.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a simulation software engineer?

To thrive as a Simulation Software Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in C++, Python, or MATLAB), a background in mathematics or engineering, and experience with simulation modeling. Familiarity with simulation platforms like Simulink, Arena, or AnyLogic, as well as knowledge of version control and software development tools, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication help you translate complex systems into accurate simulations and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications ensure the creation of reliable, efficient simulation models that inform decision-making and innovation across industries.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in simulation software development, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in simulation software often encounter challenges such as ensuring model accuracy, managing computational resource demands, and integrating their solutions with other engineering tools. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with subject matter experts, staying updated on advancements in computing hardware, and adhering to industry standards for interoperability. Regular communication with team members—including engineers, designers, and testers—also helps to streamline troubleshooting and foster innovative solutions.

Job description

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. 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.

Join 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.

What you will be doing:

  • Drive early software bring-up on simulation platforms for new chip and platform programs

  • Verify platform readiness and validate software functionality in pre-silicon development environments

  • Develop scripts, tools, and automation that improve productivity, reliability, and scale for simulation-based software development

  • Enable module teams to use simulation platforms effectively for development, debugging, and validation

  • Debug complex issues spanning software, platform configuration, infrastructure, and simulation environment interactions

  • Improve developer experience for teams using simulation infrastructure through better workflows, diagnostics, and tooling

What we need to see:

  • BS, MS, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

  • 5+ years of relevant software development experience.

  • Strong C/C++ and Python programming skills

  • Hands-on experience with SystemC, VDK, or similar simulation platforms

  • Experience with system software bring-up, platform validation, low-level software development, or infrastructure-facing systems engineering

  • Strong Linux fundamentals, including shell scripting, process/debug tools, and development workflows

  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software stacks, tools, platform behavior, and system interactions

  • Experience building developer tools, automation, test infrastructure, triage workflows, or tooling focused on improving efficiency

  • Ability to work across teams and drive technical execution in ambiguous early-development environments

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with pre-silicon development, primarily Simulation. Emulation, FPGA, virtual platforms would be a plus.

  • Background with boot flows, drivers, firmware interactions, kernel or platform software, or hardware-software interfaces

  • Familiarity with log analysis, failure triage, regression infrastructure, and validation workflows at scale

  • Experience enabling other engineering teams through shared tooling, workflows, and technical guidance

  • Experience in silicon bring-up, early platform enablement, or transition from pre-silicon to silicon validation

Widely 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/

    Your 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.
