Job Description
As the worldโs leading accelerated computing company, we are paving the way with innovations in self-driving cars, robotics, machine learning, super-computing, and visualization. We are building a team that will truly change the world and would love for you to join us. We are seeking a Software Architect - Applied Research, Accelerator Programming Model and Compiler to help define the next generation programming model for NVIDIAโs Programmable Vision Accelerator (PVA) built for developers and AI coding agents. The PVA is a power-efficient, deterministic VLIW/SIMD processor used across NVIDIA DRIVE, Jetson, and IGX platforms.
This role sits at the boundary between research and production systems software. You will explore and innovate new methods for expressing PVA workloads through higher-level declarative abstractions, domain-specific languages, and compiler/runtime interfaces. These interfaces will provide well-defined targets for both developer-written and AI-generate...
