Job description

The Human Performance and Experience (HPX) team at NVIDIA Research is seeking passionate individuals for cross-disciplinary research in the intersection of human and machine vision. The role involves working closely with a diverse team of research scientists and engineers, focusing on AI innovation and human interaction. Candidates will engage in critical thinking to address research questions and connect findings to real-world applications. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to transformative AI projects.

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a Ph.D. or equivalent academic program with a track record of research and publications.
  • Deep interest in gaming and/or human behavior in related application domains.
  • Training or systematic knowledge in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
  • Proficiency with Python, Rust, and/or C++.
  • Experience with AI model training and evaluation frameworks, like PyTorch.

Responsibilities

  • Decompose research questions into smaller, manageable parts and tackle them iteratively.
  • Think critically to identify unseen gaps and creatively bridge them with high-impact solutions.
  • Connect with researchers and product engineers to ground research findings in real-world problems.
  • Lead knowledge dissemination efforts, with options for conference, journal, and in-house publication.

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.
