Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a passionate engineer to join the CUTLASS team, focusing on high-performance computing platforms that drive the AI revolution. The role involves designing abstractions for Tensor Core and GPU hardware features using MLIR, Python, and C++. The engineer will work on core components of the CUTLASS platform and contribute to the advancement of the MLIR-based backend compiler stack. This position offers an opportunity to collaborate with various teams and showcase novel GPU hardware features.

Requirements

  • Masters or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong proficiency in C++ programming and software design, including debugging, performance evaluation, and testing.
  • Experience working with high-performance code generation and knowledge of compiler transformations and optimizations.
  • A deep understanding of computer architecture and parallel computing programming models.

Responsibilities

  • Develop core components of the CUTLASS platform including Tensor Core MMAs, copies, synchronization barriers, schedulers, and other GPU hardware features in CUDA C++ and CUTLASS Python DSL.
  • Contribute to the advancement of the MLIR-based backend compiler stack for the CUTLASS Python DSL by designing dialects and associated compiler passes.
  • Author example kernels utilizing CUTLASS abstractions to showcase the use of novel GPU hardware features that are crucial for achieving high performance.
  • Collaborate with GPU architecture, CUDA, and NVVM/PTX compiler teams to provide feedback on programming models and to assess the performance of future GPU hardware features.

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.
