Software Engineer, GPU Design Automation

About the role

NVIDIA's GPU Architecture Group seeks a software engineer to enhance GPU development processes. The role involves scaling GPU development across hardware models, testbenches, and build systems, developing automated code generation flows, and refactoring complex codebases.

Responsibilities

• Design and build automation to scale GPU development processes across hardware models, testbenches, and build systems.
• Develop and extend code generation flows that automate configuration and adapt to new designs without manual rework.
• Refactor and improve large, complex codebases to be more parameterized, data-driven, and maintainable.
• Collaborate with ASIC design and architecture teams to align on automation approaches.
• Adapt modern software engineering workflows to GPU architecture development and set a higher standard.
• Establish and maintain high standards for software quality and consistency across shared infrastructure.

Requirements

• B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and programming skills (Python, C++, or similar)
• Experience with build systems, code generation, or design automation flows
• 3+ years of experience in relevant roles
• Motivation to engage with and refine sizable, complicated codebases — converting legacy systems into maintainable, well-structured infrastructure
• Familiarity with hardware development workflows (modeling, verification, or similar)
• Up-to-date with modern software engineering methods including CI and AI-powered tooling
• Effective collaboration skills for working across team and functional boundaries (architecture, ASIC, software)

Qualifications

• Experience building or maintaining hardware build automation infrastructure at scale
• Background in parameterized code generation or template-driven build systems
• Track record of improving developer efficiency through tooling and automation
• Familiarity with GPU or ASIC development processes
• Experience with configuration management for complex hardware IP

Benefits

The position offers a competitive salary range from $152,000 to $241,500 for Level 3 and from $184,000 to $287,500 for Level 4, along with equity and benefits. Applications are open until July 26, 2026.
