NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people.
Join NVIDIA's DGX Cloud AI Efficiency Team means advancing the performance, efficiency, and resiliency of large-scale AI workloads. We help AI researchers and platform teams understand end-to-end behavior across GPUs, networking, storage, and software stacks.
We are seeking a Performance Engineer to characterize workloads, establish performance baselines, diagnose bottlenecks, and drive optimizations from investigation through deployment. Your work will shape scalable DGX Cloud systems, turn complex measurements into prioritized engineering decisions, and continuously raise the performance and reliability of AI workloads. Join our technically diverse team of infrastructure experts to unlock more efficient AI at scale.
What you'll be doing:
- Analyze end-to-end performance of large-scale AI workloads across compute, network, storage, and software stacks.
- Design and execute rigorous performance studies to establish baselines, diagnose regressions, and quantify bottlenecks.
- Define performance and efficiency evaluation methodologies, benchmarks, and success metrics for AI workloads.
- Use profiling, observability, and data analysis to turn performance measurements into actionable optimization plans.
- Partner with deep learning engineers, platform teams, and GPU architects to validate and deliver performance improvements.
- Communicate performance findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to influence system and software design decisions.
