Senior Developer Technology Engineer - Simulation Performance
NVIDIA
US, CA, Santa Clara · On-site · relocation$18,667–35,938 gross/mofull-timeNVIDIA Careers (offices abroad)
We are seeking an exceptional hands-on engineer to help our partners and customers make demanding physics and robotics simulation workloads run exceptionally well on NVIDIA platforms. You will work at the intersection of algorithms, mathematics, GPU architecture, and production software to find the true limits of real applications and turn that understanding into durable code and actionable feedback for NVIDIA engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Help our partners and customers establish and execute performance strategies for important physics, robotics simulation, and computational-engineering workloads on NVIDIA GPUs.
- Build rigorous benchmarks and performance models, profile customer applications from system architecture through GPU kernels, and identify the actual limiting factors.
- Work with partner developers to improve algorithms, data structures, memory layouts, and parallel execution. When evidence points to an NVIDIA platform bottleneck, collaborate with the owning engineering team rather than duplicating its role.
- Understand and apply knowledge of reinforcement learning, robotic kinematics simulation setup and simulation validation to the challenges that our partners bring.
- Write and upstream production C++, CUDA, Python, and domain-specific GPU code into simulation platforms, partner applications, and reusable reference implementations.
- Work across developers, NVIDIA architecture and software teams, and open technical communities to make the improvement last beyond a single engagement.
- What we need to see
- 12+ years of relevant experience
- A degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Science, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
- A record of delivering large, reproducible performance improvements in production numerical, simulation, graphics, CAE, robotics, or scientific-computing systems.
