Job description

At NVIDIA, FlashDreams is our foundational platform for the next generation of interactive world models. We work with the top interactive world model model makers, and the early world model adopters such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, medical training, and gaming to get these technologies into production. This role brings sits at the intersection of research and systems engineering, where we turn new ideas into reliable, high-performance systems for developers and customers. Interested in helping move interactive world models from research to real-world use? We’d love to hear from you! What you ll be doing: Design, build, and improve production-quality systems for world models, simulation, rendering, and real-time inference from prototype through release. Connect generated worlds, reconstructed scenes, controllable simulation states, and evaluation loops into cohesive end-to-end systems, while improving performance, quality, scalability, and reliability on NVIDIA GPUs. Collaborate with research, simulation, rendering, robotics, and autonomous-vehicle teams to make technical tradeoffs, integrate capabilities into downstream workflows, and own complex modules or cross-team projects that shape technical direction and roadmaps. What we need to see: BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent experience. 8 years of relevant software engineering experience. Experience in one or more relevant areas: world models, generative video, diffusion or flow-matching models, neural rendering, simulation, robotics, autonomous vehicles, computer vision, or large-scale ML systems. Experience building and optimizing GPU-accelerated software with CUDA and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch. Demonstrated engineering judgment and a record of turning technically complex prototypes into reliable products through thoughtful tradeoffs, testing, and delivery, along with ownership of complex modules or cross-team projects and clear communication with partners. Ways to stand out from the crowd: Hands-on experience building, adapting, evaluating, or deploying world models, video-generation systems, neural simulation, generative 3D, neural rendering, Gaussian splatting, NeRFs, or reconstruction. Experience with real-time or low-latency inference, distributed training or inference, performance profiling, GPU optimization, simulation, synthetic-data generation, robotics, autonomous vehicles, rendering, or digital-twin applications. Contributions to open-source ML, graphics, simulation, or developer platforms; publications, patents, or other demonstrated technical leadership in a relevant area. With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you re a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you. NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most hard-working and talented people in the world working for us. If you re creative and passionate about developing cloud services we want to hear from you!
