Senior Simics Software Engineer

Senior Simics Software Engineer
Job Description
Do you want to contribute to building the best compute platforms in the world, ranging from the smallest systems to huge HPC clusters? Our tools are fundamental building blocks in shaping Intel's future.


Software Engineers in the SATG/S3E/SSC group design, implement and integrate detailed functional and timing approximate simulation frameworks, tools and models of computer systems in close collaboration with the groups that design and develop these computer systems. The simulation environment is used by other groups to implement BIOS, other firmware, compilers and OS support well in advance (e.g. 1-2 years) of any actual silicon being available as well as for profiling, validation and power estimation.


The relevant technology areas for the Simics teams in Stockholm, include computer architecture, cross-platform binary translation interpreter technology, compiler technology, domain specific languages, simulator infrastructure, user interfaces, simulation modeling tools, simulation model development/integration, debuggers, software and hardware analysis and virtual machine configuration.
