Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world.

Implement production‑quality software across multiple layers of NVIDIA’s deep learning platform stack, from drivers to DL frameworks. Build and support NVIDIA submissions for MLPerf Training benchmarks. Implement key DL training workloads in NVIDIA’s proprietary processor and system simulators to enable future architecture studies. Develop tools to automate workload analysis, optimization, and other critical workflows.

Proven background in analyzing and tuning application performance. Proven experience with processor and system‑level performance modeling. Proficiency in programming with C++, Python, and CUDA.
