- Publications at top-tier conferences or research clearly on track toward them.
- Hands-on experience with simulation of networks and high-performance computing systems.
- Familiarity with inference and training systems for AI models and associated communication patterns.
- Excellent programming skills in a rapid prototyping environment such as Python, C++, and parallel programming.
- Experience building or using AI agents to accelerate research.
Responsibilities
- Develop algorithms and design hardware and software to advance computing and networking technologies.
- Invent new techniques, technologies, methodologies, processes, and devices for new product development.
- Contribute to research that informs NVIDIA's technology direction for the next 5-10 years.
- Work on projects optimizing communication stacks for AI training and inference.
- Design network protocols and congestion control.
- Co-design AI systems across software and hardware.
- Develop circuits and microarchitecture for network controllers and switches.
- Architect networks built on optical switching and silicon photonics.
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.
