Work across developers, NVIDIA architecture and software teams, and open technical communities to make the improvement last beyond a single engagement.
What we need to see
12+ years of relevant experience
A degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Science, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
A record of delivering large, reproducible performance improvements in production numerical, simulation, graphics, CAE, robotics, or scientific-computing systems.
Expert modern C++ and GPU parallel-programming ability, backed by strong foundations in mathematics, physics, numerical methods, geometry, or performance modeling.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Deep experience with physics engines, numerical solvers, geometry processing, differentiable simulation, or large-scale batched simulation.
Experience with CUDA, Warp, Newton, PhysX, Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, JAX, or comparable accelerated-computing systems.
A history of carrying important technical work beyond the breakthrough through integration, maintenance, documentation, and the success of other developers.
Publicly inspectable stewardship of a consequential open-source engine, library, standard, benchmark, or software framework. Your implementation and technical leadership must be visible in the artifact itself.
- Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary ranges for this position are:
- 224,000 USD – 356,500 USD for Level 5; and 272,000 USD – 431,250 USD for Level 6.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026.
