Description
We are building the software infrastructure for the next era of scientific discovery. At NVIDIA, we believe AI will transform how new physics for plasmas, lasers, and materials at extreme conditions are discovered.
You will work as a Senior Application Engineer, focusing on HPC+AI for numerical simulations and physics, translating complex research into software that scientists use for real discovery. You will collaborate across research, engineering, and product teams, and provide feedback on toolkits and libraries for accelerated super-resolution imaging, high energy density, plasma, and material physics.
Responsibilities:
- Develop workflows for experimental processing/analysis and numerical simulations with applications in imaging science, plasma and high energy physics, and material science
- Profile the application and run benchmarks to identify bottlenecks and suggest recommendations to collaborators and product teams
- Build examples or sample applications for tutorials
- Represent NVIDIA at leading scientific conferences, workshops, and industry events.
Requirements:
- BS, MS, or PhD in computational, theoretical and/or experimental physics, applied mathematics, computer science or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years building HPC, AI or machine learning software for applications in physics and numerical simulations.
- Strong experience with GPU-accelerated computing and modern ML frameworks.
- Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications:
- High-impact publications in HPC and AI for numerical simulations, plasma physics and imaging science.
- Deep understanding of numerical simulations such as particle-in-cell
- Experience with CUDA, parallel programming, or performance-focused software development.
- Familiarity with agentic AI workflows for science and discovery.
This role offers the chance to construct a software stack for physics algorithms, numerical simulations, data processing/analysis that is supported by advanced computing. You will help craft tools that support researchers, partners, and developers across the ecosystem. It is an opportunity to build technology that can accelerate discovery at global scale!
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
