Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a senior software engineer to enhance quantum chemistry on NVIDIA GPUs through the cuEST library. This role involves both day-to-day engineering activities and innovative algorithm development to improve quantum chemistry applications. The engineer will work collaboratively within a high-performance math libraries team and engage with the broader quantum chemistry community. The position offers the opportunity to significantly impact fields such as drug discovery and semiconductor process development.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in developing high performance numerical methods for scientific computing
  • 5+ years of experience in developing production-grade quantum chemistry packages
  • PhD or equivalent experience in computational physics, computational chemistry, computer science, or related technical fields
  • Expert knowledge of GPU software development and performance optimization
  • Proficiency in C++, CUDA, and common quantum chemistry tools
  • Adept with lean team-based software engineering, including familiarity with the use of agentic AI to boost the speed and quality of delivered software products

Responsibilities

  • Own every part of the engineering mission of cuEST from idea to shipped CUDA-X library
  • Architect, implement, optimize, productize, and deploy production-grade GPU solutions for quantum chemistry library primitives
  • Provide technical leadership of specific code modules and contribute to team-based engineering projects
  • Collaborate across broader engineering, product, and program organizations to take developed products to market
  • Engage with the broader quantum chemistry community to drive adoption of GPU-accelerated quantum chemistry

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.
