- Analyze performance trends over time and identify regressions, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities.
- Partner with compiler and architecture teams to debug and resolve performance issues.
- Develop tools and dashboards for performance visualization, reporting, and insights.
- Enable scalable testing across diverse GPU systems and environments.
- Improve infrastructure to ensure reliable, reproducible, and high-signal performance data.
Requirements
- Bachelor's, master's, or PhD degree, or equivalent experience, in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including performance engineering, benchmarking, or systems optimization.
- Strong programming skills in Python; C++ is a plus.
- Experience with CI/CD systems and automation frameworks.
- Familiarity with hardware-aware performance analysis, including GPUs, accelerators, or similar systems.
- Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or TensorRT.
- Background in data analysis, profiling, and regression tracking.
- Ability to debug complex system-level issues across software and hardware layers.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with GPU performance analysis and optimization.
- Understanding of compiler internals, including LLVM, MLIR, and CUDA compilation flow.
- Experience building performance dashboards and large-scale telemetry systems.
- Familiarity with hardware/software co-design or low-level performance tuning.
- Experience with distributed testing infrastructure or large-scale benchmarking systems.
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary range: $152,000–$241,500 USD per year.
- Eligibility for equity and benefits.
- NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse work environment.
