Engineering Technician Jobs at NVIDIA with Visa Sponsorship

INTRODUCTION

At NVIDIA, we aren't just powering the AI revolution—we're accelerating it. We are accelerating LLM inference across the stack and across all open source LLM frameworks like TensorRT LLM, vLLM and SGLang. With demand for AI exploding, particularly in the realm of large language models (LLMs) and vision language models (VLMs, VLAs), we are significantly expanding our team. We're seeking a highly skilled and driven Engineering Manager to take the lead in accelerating the next generation of LLM/VLM/VLA inference software technologies that will define the future of AI. This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role at the intersection of deep technical expertise and world-class management. You won't just manage; you'll architect and guide a brilliant team of engineers who are pushing the performance of LLM inference. Your work will be highly collaborative, interfacing directly with NVIDIA Researchers, GPU Architects, and other teams across the company to ensure we ship production-grade, lightning-fast software that sets the global standard for AI performance.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
