Senior AI Solutions Architect – GPU HPC & Solvers (Equity)

NVIDIA; Arkansas; On-site; USD 184,000 - 288,000; Full time

Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a senior Solutions Architect focused on CAE/CFD/FEA to partner with Industry Business leads and Account Managers. You will engage with customer simulation teams, helping them accelerate solvers and workloads on NVIDIA HPC platforms.

Expertise in numerical methods, Python/C++, and GPU-accelerated workflows, with experience in Slurm and containerized environments, is required. Equity and benefits available; base salary varies by location and experience.

Qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, or Chemical Engineering, Computational Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years working in CAE/CFD/FEA or computational engineering — numerical simulation, solver development, or HPC-based engineering analysis.
• Hands-on experience with commercial or open-source simulation tools (e.g., Ansys, Siemens Simcenter, Altair, COMSOL, Cadence Fidelity CFD, OpenFOAM, LS-DYNA, Abaqus).
• Strong grounding in numerical methods (FEM/FVM/spectral), linear algebra, and the mathematics behind physics solvers.
• Experience in algorithm programming using languages like Python and C/C++, with familiarity GPU-accelerating compute-intensive workloads.
• Familiarity with accelerated computing platforms, GPU-based distributed systems, and HPC clusters/schedulers (e.g., Slurm).
• Familiarity with containers, numerical libraries, modular software design, version control, GitHub.

Responsibilities

• Support Business Development and Sales teams as part of a small Solutions Architecture team, partnering with Industry Business leads, Account Managers, and Developer Relations managers to drive ecosystem success across Industrial Engineering accounts (CAE/CFD/FEA ISVs, simulation platforms, and industrial OEMs).
• Work directly with engineering-software developers and customer simulation teams in a customer-facing setting.
• Help developers GPU-accelerate and scale CAE/CFD/FEA solvers and structural, thermal, and fluid-dynamics workloads on NVIDIA accelerated computing and HPC platforms.
• Apply physics-informed ML and surrogate modeling (e.g., NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo / Modulus) and NVIDIA Omniverse digital twins to compress design, simulation, and optimization cycles.
• Analyze simulation and engineering application architectures and find opportunities for acceleration.
• Provide feedback and collaborate with engineering, product, and research teams.
• Deliver trainings, hackathons, and technical demonstrations on NVIDIA solutions and platforms.
