Senior Network Modeling Engineer
NVIDIA is spearheading the AI revolution and the creation of state-of-the-art accelerated compute platforms for global utilization. Our Network Architecture, Modeling and Performance Insights group is seeking a skilled and driven Network Modeling Engineer to conduct advanced network research and optimization while utilizing and enhancing our advanced simulation tools.
In this role, you will be a key contributor to defining the architecture and improving network performance for AI and High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. You will be responsible for modeling advanced network topologies, configurations, logic and traffic patterns, and analyzing their effect on end to end performance. You will develop expertise in our simulation tools and contribute directly to their development road map and prioritization, develop core features in the simulator, and expose the capabilities to additional users. You will take part in complex architecture decisions, define and verify the modeling assumptions, and put them to the test vs. real HW and SW performance.
If you're passionate about tackling intricate challenges and contributing to comprehensive systems and working on innovative solutions, we want to hear from you.
What you'll be doing:
Analyze and model NVIDIA’s AI and High Performance Computing offerings, deep dive into network behavior for training and inference and generate insights to directly impact the architecture of next-generations of AI systems. Conduct advanced network modeling, research and optimization using innovative simulation tools.
Implement modeling of advanced network topologies, configurations and traffic patterns which represent real life AI workloads, and analyze their effect on the system’s performance. Actively develop the simulator software solution while contributing modular and scalable code.
Actively support the HW and SW development life cycles, map existing and candidate features into the simulation domain to enable their analysis, impact assessment and optimization.
Take full independent ownership of the performance modeling roadmap for a defined set of features. Interface directly with internal clients, communicate the analysis conclusions effectively and iterate on them. Drive projects from concept to completion.
Improve the quality of the simulation as a software product, ensuring robustness and reliability.
What we need to see:
BSc or above in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of hands-on coding experience with strong proficiency in C++ and Python. You must be comfortable navigating, optimizing, and contributing to a complex, large-scale codebase.
End to end system perspective - capable of bridging the gap between hardware behavior, micro-architecture, and software performance (latency/throughput).
Project ownership capability with proven ability to lead technical initiatives, prioritize features, and manage project lifecycles autonomously with minimal supervision.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Strong background in communication networks technology. Deep understanding of Ethernet, NVLink, and/or Infiniband technologies, data center infrastructure, and network protocols.
Familiarity with discrete event simulators (e.g., OMNeT++, SystemC, or proprietary architectural simulators).
Advanced degree or experience focusing on computer architecture, algorithms, networking, or distributed systems.
With highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people on the planet working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our special engineering teams are growing fast. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a genuine passion for technology, we want to hear from you.
