Senior Performance Research and Analysis Engineer
NVIDIA, Israel, Yokneam +2
About the job
NVIDIA’s Performance Group is seeking a technical NIC & DPU Performance Research & Analysis Engineer to drive end-to-end performance strategy, characterization, optimization and HW offload accelerations for next-generation network interfaces and Data Processing Units (DPUs).
In this role, you will analyze and accelerate critical networking and storage technologies and protocols powering multi nodes AI clusters. You will profile performance across the complete hardware-to-software execution stack—stretching from DPU Arm CPU subsystems and PCIe to high-speed RDMA, SPDK, and DOCA acceleration pipelines.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Data-Path Optimization: Drive end-to-end benchmark plans, performance characterization, expectations and optimizations for NICs and DPUs deployed in distributed AI and cloud data centers.
- Full-Stack Profiling: Profile low-level memory, PCIe, host CPU, and DPU ASIC execution paths to identify micro-architectural stragglers, queue bottlenecks, and tail-latency outliers.
- Storage & Network Acceleration: Hands-on acceleration and offloading of storage (SPDK, NVMe-oF, VirtIO) and networking protocols (RDMA/RoCEv2, TCP/IP, DOCA).
