As the world’s leading accelerated computing company, we are paving the way with innovations in self-driving cars, robotics, machine learning, supercomputing, 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 Senior Applied Research Engineer, Accelerator Algorithms to drive applied research and architecture for algorithms on NVIDIA’s Programmable Vision Accelerator (PVA), a power-efficient, deterministic VLIW/SIMD processor used across NVIDIA DRIVE, Jetson, and IGX platforms. In this role, you will analyze real-world AV and physical AI workloads across multimodal sensor processing, perception pipelines, sensor fusion, and real-time control loops, identify workloads well suited for the PVA and translate them into optimized algorithms.

The successful candidate will be equally comfortable analyzing emerging workloads, prototyping accelerator-friendly algorithms, reasoning about memory and execution models,



and collaborating across research, compiler, SDK, systems software, and hardware architecture teams. This role will directly influence future PVA hardware architecture, programming model, compiler, SDK, and systems software features.

What You Will Be Doing

Research and characterize real-world AV and physical AI workloads to identify algorithms that map well to PVA.
Develop and optimize PVA algorithms using instruction-level parallelism, memory-aware scheduling, efficient data movement and vectorized execution.
Translate workload and algorithm insights into requirements for PVA hardware architecture, compilers, SDKs, profiling tools, and systems software.
Build prototypes, benchmarks, and performance models to evaluate PVA algorithm performance across current and future hardware architectures.
Leverage up-to-date AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to accelerate workload analysis, algorithm creation
