Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
- Strong C/C++ programming skills.
- 5+ years of experience with software performance analysis, profiling, optimization, or debugging.
- Understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, and how applications interact with graphics APIs and GPU hardware.
- Familiarity with source-control systems such as Perforce or Git.
- Experience with software development methodologies such as design reviews and code reviews.
- Ability to develop and debug software in a Windows OS environment.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools and enthusiasm for learning new technologies.
Responsibilities
- Develop, debug, and validate graphics software and optimizations that improve professional application performance on NVIDIA GPUs.
- Analyze professional workstation applications and identify opportunities to improve performance and user experience.
- Design experiments and develop analysis techniques to isolate complex application-performance bottlenecks.
- Profile application and graphics API workloads using traces, performance counters, and other analysis techniques.
- Create tools, scripts, and automated workflows, including AI-assisted techniques, for performance analysis, regression detection, and validation.
- Collaborate with application developers and NVIDIA driver, architecture, and hardware teams to evaluate and deliver performance improvements.
- Develop representative workstation benchmarks that capture meaningful real-world application behavior.
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.
