Job description

At NVIDIA, we believe that accelerated computing is key to solving the world’s most significant scientific and engineering challenges. We are looking for a Solutions Architect to join our Higher Education and Research Team, where you will serve as a technical partner to the visionaries shaping the future of discovery!

In this role, you will be an integral part of a team supporting higher education universities and research institutes across the nation, with a focus on computational physics, engineering simulation, scientific AI, and high-performance computing. You will help researchers harness NVIDIA platforms to accelerate simulation, build trusted AI surrogates, train scientific foundation models, and unlock new workflows in areas such as fluid dynamics, multiphysics simulation, engineering design exploration, and physics-based modeling at scale.

What you'll be doing:

• Partner with research universities and institutes to co-create innovative HPC and AI solutions using NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and business teams to align NVIDIA’s technical roadmap with the evolving strategies and complex workflows of the scientific and engineering research community
• Engage with developers and researchers to architect ground‑breaking solutions in areas such as computational physics, multiphysics simulation, engineering design exploration, and the next generation of Scientific Foundation Models
• Help researchers move from high‑fidelity simulation data to AI‑enabled workflows, including surrogate models, neural operators, physics‑informed models, reduced‑order models, differentiable simulation, and real‑time inference
• Profile and optimize the performance of scientific applications, AI training, and inference workloads so sophisticated research workflows reach their full potential on accelerated systems
• Travel requirement up to 20%

What we need to see:

• BS, MS or PhD in Computational Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 8+ years of hands‑on experience in accelerated computing and knowledge of parallel computing with GPUs
• Experience porting and/or optimizing scientific or engineering applications targeting GPUs
• Strong fundamentals in programming and software design, especially in Python and C++
• Familiarity with computational physics or engineering simulation workflows, including numerical methods, model validation, uncertainty/error analysis, or simulation‑data pipelines
• Excellent knowledge of the theory and practice of AI at scale, especially as applied to scientific, simulation, or physics‑based workloads
• A dedication to clear and inclusive communication with a deep desire to partner with the academic community to help others succeed in their research goals

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Excellent GPU programming skills, including debugging, profiling, code optimization, performance analysis, and test design
• Experience supporting HPC, AI, computational physics, engineering simulation, or scientific computing workflows
• Familiarity with NVIDIA scientific computing and AI tools such as PhysicsNeMo, NVIDIA Warp, PyTorch, JAX, or related frameworks
• Experience building AI‑enabled simulation workflows using neural operators, physics‑informed models, graph neural networks, and/or reduced‑order models
• A desire to learn and grow within an encouraging, forward‑thinking community dedicated to solving the world’s most significant computational science and engineering challenges

We offer highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. The base salary range is 184,000 USD – 287,500 USD, and you will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
