Deep Learning Software Engineer, TensorRT Performance - New College Grad 2026

We are now looking for a Deep Learning Software Engineer, TensorRT Performance! NVIDIA is seeking an experienced Deep Learning Engineer passionate about analyzing and improving the performance of NVIDIA’s inference ecosystem! NVIDIA is rapidly growing our research and development for Deep Learning Inference and is seeking excellent Software Engineers at all levels of expertise to join our team. Companies around the world are using NVIDIA GPUs to power a revolution in deep learning, enabling breakthroughs in areas like Generative AI, Recommenders and Vision that have put DL into every software solution. Join the team that builds the software to enable the performance optimization, deployment and serving of these DL inference solutions. We specialize in developing GPU-accelerated deep learning inference software like TensorRT, DL benchmarking software and performant solutions to deploy and serve these models. What You'll Be Doing Establish groundbreaking performance benchmarking methodologies and analysis workflows and identify performance issues and opportunities for NVIDIA’s inference ecosystem (e.g. TensorRT/TensorRT-EdgeLLM/Torch-TensorRT) Contribute features and code to NVIDIA/OSS inference frameworks including but not limited to TensorRT/TensorRT-EdgeLLM/Torch-TensorRT. Develop new model pipelines for NVIDIA’s inference ecosystem with optimized performance including but not limited to areas like quantization, scheduling, memory management, and distributed inference to set the gold standard for Gen AI performance. Work with cross-collaborative teams inside and outside of NVIDIA across generative AI, automotive, robotics, image understanding, and speech understanding to set directions and develop innovative inference solutions. Scale performance of deep learning models across different architectures and types of NVIDIA accelerators. What We Need To See Bachelors, Masters, PhD, or equivalent experience in relevant fields (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, EECS, AI). 2 years of relevant software development experience. Strong C++, Python programming and software engineering skills Experience with DL frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, ONNX) and inference libraries (e.g. TensorRT, TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, SGLang, FlashInfer). Experience with performance analysis and performance optimization Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd Strong foundation and architectural knowledge of GPUs. Deep understanding of modern deep learning models and workloads (e.g. Transformers, Recommenders, ASR, TTS, Visual Understanding). Proficiency in one of the deep learning programming domain specific languages (e.g. CUDA/TileIR/CuTeDSL/cutlass/Triton). Prior contributions to major LLM inference frameworks (e.g. vLLM) or prior experience with graph compilers in deep learning inference (e.g. TorchDynamo/TorchInductor). Prior experience optimizing performance for low-latency, resource-constrained systems or embedded AI pipelines (e.g. Jetson systems or other edge AI accelerators). GPU deep learning has provided the foundation for machines to learn, perceive, reason and solve problems posed using human language. The GPU started out as the engine for simulating human imagination, conjuring up the amazing virtual worlds of video games and Hollywood films. Now, NVIDIA's GPU runs deep learning algorithms, simulating human intelligence, and acts as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Just as human imagination and intelligence are linked, computer graphics and artificial intelligence come together in our architecture. Two modes of the human brain, two modes of the GPU. This may explain why NVIDIA GPUs are used broadly for deep learning, and NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.” Come, join our DL Architecture team, where you can help build a real-time, cost-effective computing platform driving our success in this exciting and quickly growing field. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 124,000 USD - 195,500 USD for Level 2, and 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 24, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy. NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes. NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.
