Full Job Description
Within NVIDIA's Hardware Infrastructure organization, we support a broad portfolio of engineering programs spanning simulation, performance modeling, validation tooling, and more. As a TPM on this team, you will be focused on our architectural modeling and functional simulation efforts — developing and maintaining the tools and environments that empower hardware and software engineers to develop architectural models and run system-level simulations for next-generation GPUs. Hardware Infrastructure serves as the foundational platform for silicon development. We build and operate the systems, environments, and tools that enable hardware engineers to design, simulate, validate, and tape out chips. In addition, we support software teams specifically through our source control platforms, enabling development of new products. Our mission is to accelerate engineering velocity while maintaining the performance, efficiency, and reliability required to deliver world-class silicon, while ensuring seamless collaboration where hardware and software development intersect. **What You 'll Be Doing:** * Own and drive NVIDIA's software left-shift program, ensuring software teams have the environments, interfaces, and infrastructure they need to begin development earlier in the silicon lifecycle. * Partner with architecture, modeling, and software teams to identify and resolve dependency blockers that prevent software from moving left. * Define program structure, milestones, and success criteria for pre-silicon software readiness across multiple concurrent chip programs. * Lead executive-level program reviews, surface risks early, and drive cross-functional decision-making with clarity and data.6 * Build feedback loops between software findings on models and the architecture and modeling teams — turning SW-on-model results into actionable pre-silicon improvements. * Drive alignment across hardware and software organizations on new chip features — ensuring teams collectively understand
