NVIDIA is searching for an outstanding researcher working on efficient deep learning to join the learning and perception research team. We are passionate about research that pushes boundaries but also has impact in the real world. We are particularly excited about methods for post-training model optimization (pruning, quantization, NAS), efficient architecture design, adaptive/dynamic inference, resource-efficient training and finetuning, and so forth. You will work within an amazing and collaborative research team that consistently publishes at the top venues in computer vision and machine learning. Our existing expertise includes computer vision, deep learning, generative models, and so forth. Your contributions have the chance to create real impact on our products.

What you’ll be doing:

• Research, design and implement novel methods for efficient deep learning.
• Publish original research.
• Collaborate with other team members and teams.
• Mentor interns.
• Speak at conferences and events.
