Senior Simulation Software Engineer

Details

We are building a high-impact team at the forefront of architectural innovation, and we’re looking for a Senior Simulation 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 Ethernet and NVL 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 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 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

• Knowledge and understanding of networking and compute systems.
• Experience with SystemC, TLM, or other hardware modeling frameworks.
• Experience with hardware/software interactions.
