Code Generation Profiling Nvidia CUDA Distributed Systems Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Quantum Computing Software Engineering Toolchain Information Technology

Job description

NVIDIA’s Quantum Computing team is searching for an outstanding software engineer to build the toolchain of the future. Join us in developing the CUDA-Q platform for programming powerful hybrid quantum-classical multi-processor systems. We are looking for a dedicated engineer with expertise building extensible toolchains and distributed systems. Are you creative, always looking to come up with innovative solutions, and eager to apply your skills to advance a novel field of computing? If you love the craft of software engineering and relish the chance to impact the future of the industry, this role may be perfect for you. What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Contributing to the development of CUDA Quantum by building core infrastructure for inter-device communication and efficient execution across multiple processors

  • Partnering with architects, product managers, and collaborators to create an extensible toolchain integrating quantum architecture specific components

  • Solving difficult problems at the intersection of compilers, HPC and quantum computing to enable ground-breaking research and technology

  • Discussing and refining software designs and implementation strategies with peers

  • Improving processes and infrastructure to accelerate our development

Requirements

  • Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Physics or related engineering field (Ph.D. or Masters preferred), or equivalent experience

  • 5+ years of experience

  • Ability working on large-scale software projects, and a proven track record of building performant and robust production software

  • A solid understanding of performance profiling, multi-processor systems, and compiler fundamentals

  • Ability to quickly develop expertise in new domains and products, and eagerness to master new challenges

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

  • Extensive knowledge about quantum computing hardware and control systems and/or prior experience implementing optimization and code generation components for various quantum computing architectures

  • A passion for system designing and a focus on improving extensibility

  • An understanding of quantum error correction

  • Deep understanding of compiler toolchains, specifically LLVM/MLIR

  • Proficiency in GPU- and/or FPGA-programming

Benefits & conditions

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 218,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.
