The DL Performance Modeling Team's core mission is to deliver full stack simulation infrastructure for deep learning applications across a spectrum of GPUs. We actively collaborate with architecture, software, product, and research teams to shape and refine the strategic roadmap of DL hardware and software
We are now looking for a Deep Learning Software Engineer to help develop simulation infrastructure. The software rapidly assesses new AI-accelerating GPU hardware and software advancements.
What you'll be doing: - Develop simulation backends that enable fast, scalable evaluation of AI workloads across NVIDIA compiler stacks.
- Improve deep learning compiler kernel code generation and computational graph optimization using analysis based on modeled scenarios and performance insight.
- Advance the modeling and optimization of datacenter-scale AI workloads and deployment scenarios.
- Partner with architects and software teams to evaluate future GPU features and guide silicon and system-level design decisions.
What we need to see: - A Masters (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field; PhD preferred.
- 3+ years of relevant experience in compiler optimization, architectural simulation, or related areas.
- Strong hands-on experience with MLIR and compiler infrastructure.
- Excellent C/C++ and Python programming skills, including software design, debugging, performance analysis, and test development.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multi-functional, outcome-focused environment.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:- Experience designing and building compiler frameworks or intermediate representations from the ground up.
- Deep understanding of LLM inference workloads and their implications for computer architecture.
- Hands-on experience implementing and optimizing complex AI workloads on CPUs, GPUs, or custom accelerators.
