Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a HPC Performance Engineer to join their NVHPC compilers & tools group. This role focuses on analyzing High Performance Computing applications to enhance performance through compiler optimizations and library improvements. The engineer will work on a variety of applications, from small benchmarks to large-scale multi-node multi-GPU systems. Collaboration with compiler development and application engineering teams is essential to deliver effective solutions.

Requirements

  • BS/MS or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related engineering field.
  • 5+ years of programming experience.
  • Solid understanding of Fortran, C, C++, and programming techniques for parallel architectures.
  • Experience with OpenACC, OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, and Standard Language Parallelism.
  • Strong skills in performance analysis and tuning.
  • Strong mathematical fundamentals, including linear algebra and numerical methods.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze the effect of different compilers and compiler optimizations on HPC application performance.
  • Evaluate how the compiler and runtime can improve the performance of key HPC applications on CPU and CPU/GPU platforms.
  • Communicate limits of compiler capabilities with application engineering to guide performance improvements.
  • Port HPC applications to different platforms and programming models.
  • Evaluate the impact of NVHPC package components, device driver, and system configuration on application performance.

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.
