  • Work across system software, GPU driver, architecture, and NVIDIA Research teams to influence next-generation, high-performance SoC platforms by bringing real-world workflows and actionable insights from partner and customer needs.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers while contributing to an inclusive and high-performing team environment.

What we need to see:

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or related degree (or equivalent experience)

  • 5+ years of respective work experience as software developer

  • Proficiency in C/C++, Python, software design, parallel programming techniques

  • Confirmed expertise with developing native software on Windows and Linux

  • Familiar with agents for software development and related tasks

  • A distinct passion for performance optimization of CPU, AI or 3D-graphics end-to-end workflows and in-depth experience with profiling and debugging tools for CPU & GPU

  • Fundamental understanding of CPU or GPU architecture

  • Good communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem solving, good time management, and task prioritization skills

  • Self-motivated, driven work ethic with high autonomy and critical thinking that thrives in an open and collaborative environment

  • Occasional travel for conferences and on-site visits with external partners

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Expertise in agentic creative/professional workflows, e.g. CAD, 3D rendering, video or image editing

  • Knowledge of most recent highest-performance ARM architecture, ARM assembly and memory model

  • Experience with the SSE, AVX, NEON or SVE instruction set extensions

  • Expertise with GPU compute or graphics APIs, like CUDA, Vulkan or DX12

  • Experience with AI deployment on NPUs and ARM architectures.
