We are now looking for a Senior Research Engineer passionate about Generative AI inference. Are you excited to change the way people infuse AI into products and services? NVIDIA is at the forefront of generative AI models, from language to images. NVIDIA provides building blocks to democratize AI and make generative AI easy to develop, integrate, and deploy. Our team is dedicated to developing optimized inferencing technologies to support our growing generative AI needs. We contribute to all steps of the machine learning lifecycle: from conceptualization, to applied research, engineering for optimized inference, and deployment. Collaborate with research teams, engineers, and open-source community.
What you will be doing:
Design and evaluate routing policies for LLM traffic to best use mixture of model systems.
Build and run agentic benchmarks (e.g., Terminal-Bench ) to measure algorithm quality, and turn results into calibration data and routing profiles
Ship to an open-source repo: design docs, code review, docs, and community contributions
Collaborating with engineering teams across all of NVIDIA to ensure our software integrates seamlessly up and down the NVIDIA accelerated serving stack.
What we need to see:
Bachelor's of Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
8+ years of industry experience in Deep Learning frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
Experience designing or running LLM evaluations/benchmarks — ideally agentic ones — and drawing statistically sound conclusions from them
Understanding of modern techniques in Machine Learning, Deep Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, or Speech Recognition.
Empirical research mindset: forming hypotheses about new algorithms, running calibrations, iterating on results
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to work in a dynamic and distributed team. A history of mentoring junior engineers and interns is a huge plus.
A desire to constantly grow and learn new things.
Strong computer science fundamentals - algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, parallel and distributed computing, system software.
Ways to stand out from a crowd:
Experience architecting or developing large-scale distributed systems for deep learning.
Agentic benchmark creation and publications.
Knowledge of CPU and/or GPU architecture.
GPU programming (CUDA).
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.

NVIDIA Insights
What We Do
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.”
