We are now seeking a Senior Deep Learning Performance Architect!

NVIDIA is looking for outstanding Performance Architects with a background in performance analysis, performance modeling, and AI/deep learning to help analyze and develop the next generation of architectures that accelerate AI and high-performance computing applications.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Develop innovative architectures to extend the state of the art in deep learning performance and efficiency

  • Analyze performance, cost and power trade-offs by developing analytical models, simulators and test suites

  • Understand and analyze the interplay of hardware and software architectures on future algorithms, programming models and applications

  • Evaluate PPA (performance, power, area) for hardware features and system level architectural trade-offs. Develop high level simulators in C++/Python

  • Actively collaborate with software, product and research teams to guide the direction of deep learning HW and SW

What we need to see:

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

  • 6+ years of relevant meaningful work experience

  • Strong background in GPU or Deep Learning ASIC architecture for distributed training and/or inference spanning multi-chip/multi-node

  • Experience with performance modeling, architecture simulation, profiling, and analysis

  • Solid foundation in machine learning and deep learning. Understanding of modern transformer-based architectures and their performance at scale.

  • Strong programming skills in Python, C, C++

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
