Senior Developer Technology Engineer - Large Language Models & Generative AI in Stuttgart

For more than two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has expanded to PC games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis, research and AI.

Nowadays, Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI change our world. They help us being productive and collaborative, they fuel our creativity and enable communication across language barriers. Being computationally tremendously demanding, NVIDIA's technology is a driving force behind the wider adoption of these AI models in datacenters and edge computing.

What you’ll be doing:

• Engage closely with internal engineering teams and external partners on solving local end-to-end LLM & Generative AI GPU deployment challenges.
• Apply powerful profiling and debugging tools for analyzing most demanding GPU-accelerated end-to-end AI applications to detect insufficient GPU utilization resulting in suboptimal runtime performance.
• Conduct hands‑on trainings, develop sample code and host presentations to give good guidance on efficient end-to-end AI deployment targeting optimal runtime performance.
• Guide developers of AI applications applying methodologies for efficient adoption of DL frameworks targeting maximal utilization of GPU Tensor Cores for the best possible inference performance.
• Collaborate with GPU driver and architecture teams as well as NVIDIA research to influence next generation GPU features by providing real‑world workflows and giving feedback on partner and customer needs.

What we need to see:

• Deep theoretical knowledge about Transformer architectures - specifically LLMs and Generative AI - and convolutional neural networks.
• 8+years of professional experience in local GPU deployment, profiling and optimization.
• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related degree.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++, Python, software design, programming techniques.
• Experience working with AI inference frameworks.
• Experience with CUDA and NVIDIA's Nsight GPU profiling and debugging suite.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem solving, time management, and task prioritization skills.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.
• Some travel is required for conferences and for on‑site visits with external partners.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Proficiency in GPU‑accelerated AI inference driven by NVIDIA APIs, specifically cuDNN, TensorRT & TensorRT-LLM.
• Experience with AI deployment on NPUs and ARM architectures.
• Confirmed expert knowledge in Vulkan and / or DX12.
• Detailed knowledge of the latest generation GPU architectures.
