We are looking for experienced Systems SW Compiler Engineers for an exciting role in our PTX (Parallel Thread Execution) Compiler Development team. Join the PTX Compiler team and help drive PTX language design and PTX compiler evolution. PTX enables all GPU Computing applications including HPC, Deep Learning and Autonomous Driving. PTX provides a stable programming model and portable instruction set Architecture (ISA) for NVIDIA GPUs and used by all Compute programming languages compiled to NVIDIA GPUs. PTX is also used as a compiler target by various non-NVIDIA compilers. Work with NVIDIA GPU Architecture and CUDA Programming model teams to build abstractions to expose new GPU features in portable and performant ways in PTX ISA. PTX Compiler (PTXAS) apart from implementing PTX ISA is responsible for PTX Compiler Front End, interaction with optimizer and runtime aspects involving object files, debug information, linkers, loaders and Driver Compiler Interface.

As a senior member of the team you will be responsible for leading efforts to enhance PTX for next generation GPUs. You will be solving challenging problems working alongside some of the top minds in GPU computing and systems software. See your efforts in action as HPC and DL developers use new PTX enhancements to achieve the best performance of their applications.

What you will be doing:

• Provide stewardship for PTX ISA specification and its evolution.

• Collaborating with architecture and programming model teams to design and implement programming models for next generation GPUs.

• Collaborate closely with teams developing other related components to ensure compatibility, robustness and high-quality code generation.

• Working with customers/partners to gather feedback and drive innovative ideas and features to incorporate into the product.

• Assist in leading the technical direction to a team of 3-4 system compiler development engineers, including planning, scheduling and execution of projects and activities.

• Mentor junior engineers.

What we need to see:

• BS (or equivalent experience), MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields.

• 3+ years of experience in the area of compiler front end, programming language designs, Compilers/Linkers.

• Superb analytical and C/C++ programming skills.

• Experience in any one area of compiler development including feature support, code generation and compiler infrastructure.

• Excellent and strong interactive, verbal and written communications skills.

• Understanding of any Processor ISA (GPU ISA a plus).

• Good track record of developing, driving and delivering software products.

• Ability to work independently, define project goals and scope, and lead your own development effort.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Development experience in enhancing and dealing with object file formats such as ELF and debugging formats (DWARF).

• Experience in Programming Languages design and drafting programming language standards.

• Background in Linker development.

• Knowledge of GPU development and compute APIs such as CUDA, and OpenCL.
