Job description
- Build, implement, and optimize CUDA kernels for core MD simulation primitives
- Be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of GPU-accelerated simulation math to external partners and the broader MD ecosystem
- Integrate simulation primitives into major MD engines
- Drive CI/CD infrastructure for multi-SKU kernel builds, automated performance regression testing, and cross-simulator validation across NVIDIA GPU generations.
- Collaborate with Applied Science teams to evaluate new algorithms and translate research prototypes into production-quality, shipped software.
Requirements
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a strong background in CUDA and GPU programming.
- Deep proficiency in C and C++; comfort navigating and chipping in to large, sophisticated codebases.
- Strong foundation in high-performance computing
- Familiarity with molecular dynamics simulation concepts
- Experience building or supplying to scientific software libraries, simulation engines, or developer-facing GPU APIs.
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Computational Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
- You have supplied to or deeply used a major MD simulation engine
- Experience with GPU compiler toolchains, kernel delivery mechanisms
- Hands-on knowledge of SPME, Ewald summation, or other long-range electrostatics methods at the implementation level.
- PhD or equivalent experience in computational chemistry, biophysics, mathematical modeling, or computer science with a focus on HPC or scientific computing.
- Experience with mixed-precision or tensor-core-aware algorithm build for scientific workloads as well as contributions to open-source MD simulation or GPU computing projects.
