Job description

NVIDIA is seeking engineers to develop algorithms and optimizations for their LPX inference and compiler stack. This role focuses on the intersection of large-scale systems, compilers, and deep learning, aiming to optimize neural network workloads for future NVIDIA platforms. The team is dedicated to building high-performance runtime and compiler components, enhancing the efficiency of inference processes. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to innovative technologies in visual and AI computing.

Requirements

  • Pursuing or recently completed a MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Possess a software engineering background with familiarity in systems level programming (e.g., C/C++ and/or Rust) and solid CS fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and concurrency.
  • Hands-on experience with compiler or runtime development, including IR design, optimization passes, or code generation.
  • Experience with LLVM and/or MLIR, including building custom passes, dialects, or integrations.
  • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, and experience working with portable graph formats such as ONNX.
  • Understanding of parallel and heterogeneous compute architectures, such as GPUs, spatial accelerators, or other domain specific processors.
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills, with experience using profiling, tracing, and benchmarking tools to drive performance improvements.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across hardware, systems, and software teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build, develop, and maintain high-performance runtime and compiler components, focusing on end-to-end inference optimization.
  • Define and implement mappings of large-scale inference workloads onto NVIDIA’s systems.
  • Extend and integrate with NVIDIA’s SW ecosystem, contributing to libraries, tooling, and interfaces that enable seamless deployment of models across platforms.
  • Benchmark, profile, and monitor key performance and efficiency metrics to ensure the compiler generates efficient mappings of neural network graphs to our inference hardware.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware architects and design teams to feedback software observations, influence future architectures, and codesign features that unlock new performance and efficiency points.
  • Prototype and evaluate new compilation and runtime techniques, including graph transformations, scheduling strategies, and memory/layout optimizations tailored to spatial processors.
  • Publish and present technical work on novel compilation approaches for inference and related spatial accelerators at top tier ML, compiler, and computer architecture venues.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
