Job description

NVIDIA is seeking experienced engineers to join the AI for Media team, focusing on developing and deploying AI features for media workflows. The role involves solving complex computer vision and deep learning challenges, particularly in real-time AI solutions. Engineers will work on content authenticity, model architecture, and pipeline strategies for detecting synthetic media. This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with NVIDIA Research and influence product roadmaps.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of relevant engineering or research experience in deep learning and computer vision.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a system or model family from research concept through production deployment at scale.
  • Hands-on development skills with deep learning frameworks and deployment stacks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX.
  • Ability to scope ambiguous problems into executable roadmaps and define milestones.
  • Experience influencing product and research roadmaps through technical vision.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills in an R&D environment.
  • PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

  • Set the technical direction for content authenticity AI at NVIDIA.
  • Design and build highly capable AI models for computer vision and video AI.
  • Extend authenticity coverage across modalities, including audio authentication analysis.
  • Architect new end-to-end forensics pipelines from data strategy to deployment.
  • Own the accuracy, latency, and throughput tradeoff space for models.
  • Partner with NVIDIA Research to bring state-of-the-art work into production.
  • Act as the technical authority on media authenticity for the broader organization.

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.
