NVIDIA foundation engineer job description

Perception for autonomous technologies is one of the most exciting and challenging areas to work on today. As you must know, machine learning is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, but in order to be exceptionally good at machine learning for Perception, we need to get the fundamentals right! Come join the Perception ML Foundation team where we combine expertise in machine learning, HPC and cloud-compute to build the perception ML 'factory'. This factory makes the generation of perception ML models efficient, scalable and a pleasure to use. It consists of the major ML related workflows: data preparation, DNN training, optimization for production, and large-scale cloud inference and evaluation. We believe that creating this high-throughput factory requires diverse, interdisciplinary thinking and expertise: understanding modern Perception architectures, ML optimization techniques, large-scale software systems, HPC and the hardware powering up accelerated-cloud compute, as well as MLOps, and micro services. We refer to all of these abilities as ML foundation engineers.
What you'll be doing:

+ Improve our DNN training code: make it train faster, with more machines, while using resources better

+ Design our training code to allow for more engineers to use it simultaneously, with more tasks

+ Data preparation for training: build horizontally scalable data preparation pipeline that is simple to use and doesn't delay training

+ Design and implement a horizontally scalable, high-throughput cloud inference pipeline for evaluation and KPI calculation

+ Streamline workflows to allow creating verified, deployable artifacts from annotated data

+ Develop tools for introspection and visualization to understand what is going well and what can be improved in our work

+ Strive to reach speed-of-light for training, data-preparation and cloud-inference

+ Work closely with platform and perception DNN engineers, combining expertise about large-scale ML systems with deep knowledge of perception DNNs

What we need to see:

+ MSc or PhD in computer science or equivalent experience

+ 3+ years related industry experience

+ Familiarity with modern machine learning environments such as Pytorch

+ Excellent C++, Python and/or CUDA programming skills

+ You are passionate about software development and code quality. You follow the latest standards and techniques, you write unit tests and benchmarks and without being asked, you always leave the code at a better state than you found it

+ You are passionate about optimization: you know how-to and enjoy writing efficient code. From high-level ML algorithms to low-level HW utilization.

+ We are part of a large ecosystem. We are both clients of other teams and serve other teams. Collaborating within and outside our team is part of our job. We are looking for engineers that can communicate clearly and work well with others.

+ We are looking for creative and curious engineers who are proactive and thorough. They enjoy getting to the bottom of things and come up with phenomenal solutions

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

+ Publications in the area of efficient ML (accelerate training and inference)

+ Industry experience in building large scale ML pipelines, possibly for autonomous vehicles

+ Significant contribution to leading related open-source projects

NVIDIA has some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
