Job description

NVIDIA's GPU Architecture Group is looking for new college graduates to join their team focused on designing and validating GPU profiling and performance telemetry features. The role involves contributing to hardware modeling, test development, and infrastructure, with opportunities to influence the design of NVIDIA's leading AI platform. The team collaborates across architecture, ASIC design, performance engineering, drivers, and tools to enhance the hardware-software co-design process. This position is ideal for those passionate about GPU architecture and performance analysis.

Requirements

  • Pursuing or recently completed a M.S. or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Foundation in computer architecture and AI workload acceleration.
  • Programming skills in C++ and Python.
  • Coursework or project experience in performance modeling, hardware simulation, or verification.
  • Strong communication skills for working across multi-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain functional and performance models for GPU hardware features.
  • Write and execute test plans to validate designs across configurations.
  • Contribute to infrastructure that supports the hardware development process.
  • Collaborate with architects, ASIC designers, and software engineers across teams.
  • Develop deep knowledge of GPU architecture and the performance analysis domain.

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.
