About the job

Optimizes and deploys deep learning inference on NVIDIA edge platforms for autonomous vehicles and robotics, improving performance through model, kernel, compiler, and hardware analysis.

What you'll do

  • Analyze, debug, and optimize customer deep learning workloads on NVIDIA platforms; deliver production-ready solutions.
  • Lead reproducible performance benchmarking and evaluate emerging model architectures for compilation feasibility, memory use, and latency.
  • Build and deploy edge inference solutions on Jetson, DRIVE, and GPU + ARM platforms, collaborating with compiler, runtime, and hardware teams.

What they ask for

  • Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Over 12 years working in the industry, including at least 8 years specializing in deep learning model optimization, inference engineering, or neural network compilation.
  • Over 5 years of validated expertise in embedded/edge software and production inference for power-limited, latency-sensitive environments.
  • Expert knowledge of GPU architecture fundamentals, CUDA, low-level performance optimization, and TensorRT, compiler IRs, or equivalent inference optimization toolchains.

Nice to have

  • Experience with ML compiler frameworks (TVM, MLIR, XLA, Triton) or inference runtime development.
  • Production autonomous vehicle perception or planning deployment experience; MLPerf contributions and automotive safety standards familiarity are also noted as advantages.
