3+ years of relevant work or research experience in compiler optimization, performance analysis and IR design.
Ability to work independently, define project goals and scope, and lead your own development effort.
Excellent C/C++ programming and software design skills, including debugging, performance analysis, and test design.
Strong interpersonal skills are required along with the ability to work in a dynamic product-oriented team.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Knowledge of CPU and/or GPU architecture. CUDA or OpenCL programming experience.
Experience with the following technologies: MLIR, LLVM, XLA, TVM and deep learning models and algorithms.

With highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology industry's most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and hardworking people in the world working with us and our product lines are growing fast in some of the hottest state of the art fields such as Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and Autonomous Vehicles.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for

Speech

Questions you could be asked

What have you built with speech recognition or text-to-speech, and where did it break?
How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?

Adapt your resume

List these exact terms on your resume: Speech. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
