MSc or PhD in CS, EE or CSEE or equivalent experience.
Strong background in deep learning and neural networks, both training & inference.
Deep understanding of computer architecture, and familiarity with the fundamentals of GPU architecture.
Proven experience analyzing, modeling and tuning application performance.
Programming skills in C++ and Python.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience with modern LLM inference frameworks (TRT-LLM, vLLM, Ollama, etc.)
Strong fundamentals in algorithms.
Experience with production deployment of Deep Learning models.
Proven experience with processor and system-level performance modelling.
GPU programming experience (CUDA or OpenCL) is a strong plus but not required.
As NVIDIA makes inroads into the Datacenter business, our team plays a central role in getting the most out of our exponentially growing data center deployments and establishing a data-driven approach to hardware design and system software development. We collaborate with a broad cross-section of teams at NVIDIA ranging from DL research teams to CUDA Kernel and DL Framework development teams, to Silicon Architecture Teams.
