Strong mathematical fundamentals, including linear algebra and numerical methods.

A passion for performance optimization.

Hands-on experience with the massively parallel GPU programming model, e.g. CUDA or OpenCL. Familiarity with APIs for multi-node communication, like MPI or OpenSHMEM/NVSHMEM, is a plus.

Strong knowledge of C and C++ with solid understanding of software design, programming techniques, and algorithms. Familiarity with threading APIs for multicore CPUs and Unix-style Inter-process Communication (IPC) APIs is a plus.

Familiarity with Python is a plus.

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

Experience benchmarking, profiling characterizing workloads on GPU and CPU clusters.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most hard-working and dedicated people in the world working for us.
