Senior Software Engineer - Optimization

at  NVIDIA

NVIDIA is searching for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Optimization Solvers team (NVIDIA cuOpt). We are building next-generation solvers to accelerate optimization with modern, highly-parallel hardware architectures. If you enjoy addressing real-world problems while crafting innovative software, this team is for you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and implementing groundbreaking techniques in the field of decision science and mathematical optimization.
• Performance tuning, optimization, and benchmarking of large-scale parallel numerical software,
• Collaborating with other software engineers, internal and external researchers, and a diverse set of internal product teams.
• Finding opportunities to improve the code base and reduce code maintenance overhead through re-architecting.
• These issues are by nature complex and will require you to find and explain complex solutions, exercise leadership, and coordinate with multiple teams to achieve your objectives.

What we need to see:

• PhD or Masters degree in Computer Science, Applied Math, or related science or engineering field of study (or equivalent experience).
• Experience developing, debugging, and optimizing high-performance applications with GPU acceleration.
• Excellent C++ parallel programming and software design skills. CUDA is a plus.
• Deep understanding of fundamental numerical methods and computations in science and engineering. Experience developing combinatorial or mathematical optimization solvers is a plus.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills are required along with the ability to work in a dynamic team. Experience with mentoring junior engineers and interns is a plus.
• 5+ years of experience

Intelligent machines powered by AI computers that can learn, reason, and interact with people are no longer science fiction. The GPU started out as the engine for simulating human imagination, conjuring up the amazing virtual worlds of video games and Hollywood films. Now, NVIDIA’s software act as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Join our team to build industry-leading technology for addressing the toughest problems in operations research.
NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people on the planet working for us. If you’re a creative and collaborative researcher, we want to hear from you!
