Senior Computer Vision, VLM Performance Engineer
NVIDIA, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Overview
Senior Computer Vision, VLM Performance Engineer
at
NVIDIA . We are looking for an engineering expert to help productize and optimize the latest Vision Language Models (VLMs) and their pipelines, with the aim of democratizing the use of these models and enabling innovative applications. What You\'ll Be Doing
Develop, profile and optimize inference pipelines for VLMs and other AI computer vision models: improve throughput and latency, data loading, pre- and post-processing. Improve the efficiency of VLM models themselves: kernel optimization in CUDA. Upstream improvements to SDKs and libraries across NVIDIA and beyond to deliver accelerated computer vision at scale. Promote high-performance AI computer vision across NVIDIA teams and functions (Engineering, Product Management, Marketing, and more). What We Need To See
Master\'s of Science in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience. 8 years practical experience or equivalent. Expertise in AI computer vision (VLMs, Vision Transformers, Diffusion models). Proven track record using its software ecosystem (PyTorch, HuggingFace, vLLM) to develop and release production-grade software. Excellent software engineering fundamentals (source control, CI/CD, testing/validation, packaging, containerization, release). Proficiency with Python, C++ and CUDA (kernel optimization). Experience developing cloud applications (REST APIs, gRPC). Excellent written, visual, and verbal communication to present performance challenges, tradeoffs, and architectural alternatives. Curiosity and drive to learn new technologies and partner across teams and functions. Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
Expertise in classical, non-ML computer vision. Strong fundamentals with system-level performance: multi-threaded, multi-process and distributed software development. Grounding in mathematical fundamentals such as linear algebra, numerical methods, statistics, and exploratory data analysis. History of creativity and innovation around performance in multiple problem domains. Compensation and Benefits
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. Equal Opportunity
NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.
