You will have a tangible impact at a fast-paced company that is spearheading the next wave in computing technology. Join our technically diverse team of GPU architects, software engineers and infrastructure experts to push the boundaries of computing performance! 

What you’ll be doing: 

  • Architect and plan features in concert with software, hardware, and verification teams working across the globe to implement the next generation GPU profiling features. 

  • Build functional and performance models to refine and verify hardware designs.

  • Create test plans to validate the features you design and contribute to their implementation. 

  • Constantly develop your skills for practical innovation by improving your understanding of the application analysis process, the GPU architecture, and the profiling software stack. 

What we need to see: 

  • Masters, or PhD in relevant field (Eg: Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering) or equivalent experience.

  • 3+ years of relevant computer architecture, ASIC design, and/or software development experience.

  • Strong programming skills in C++ (or similar) and Python (or similar).

  • Solid foundation in computer architecture and hardware performance analysis. 

  • Experience with performance modeling and hardware simulation, ideally using SystemC. 

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills including the ability to work with a distributed interdisciplinary team.

Ways to stand out from the crowd: 

  • Expertise in developing and optimizing parallel algorithms, particularly using GPUs. 

  • Extensive experience as a user or developer of CPU or GPU profiling tools.

  • Background with 3D graphics, deep learning, and/or high-performance computing applications

  • Experience contributing to and debugging large codebases with many developers. 

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. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
