This role is part of an engineering team at NVIDIA focused on developing, scaling, and optimizing software for quantum computing and quantum system simulations. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in HPC and GPU programming, and a passion for advancing the state-of-the-art in quantum computing applications. The position involves collaboration with various teams and external partners to enhance quantum circuit simulations. Candidates will also provide technical leadership and analyze performance for improvements.

Requirements

  • Excellent C++ and Python programming and software design skills, including functional and performance test design.
  • Experience programming for GPUs, in a multi-threading and multi-node MPI programming model, and expertise in hardware-aware optimization.
  • Experience with agentic coding tools.
  • Demonstrated ability developing scientific software used in quantum simulations.
  • PhD or MSc degree in Computer Science, Applied Math, Physics, or related science or engineering field.
  • 8+ years of experience.
  • Strong collaboration, communication, and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

  • Research and develop GPU accelerated algorithms across multiple hardware generations.
  • Develop innovative HPC algorithms to scale quantum circuit simulations.
  • Work closely with NVIDIA Research, Developer Technology, and Product Management teams.
  • Interact with external partners and researchers to understand their use cases and requirements.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to other engineers.
  • Analyze the performance of GPU, CPU, multi-GPU/multi-node implementations for improvements.

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.
