TL;DR

As a Senior Software Engineer on NVIDIA’s Holoscan Platform team, you will architect the next generation of Holoscan SDK by developing intuitive APIs and prototyping GPU-accelerated algorithms for real-time sensor data processing. Your day-to-day involves building core GPU libraries using CUDA and Vulkan to optimize I/O, streaming, decoding, and visualization, while also contributing to real-time visualization frameworks like Vulkan or Omniverse/RTX-based rendering back-ends. You will benchmark performance across the entire pipeline from sensors through AI inference to display, integrate generative models with Holoscan’s Sensor Bridge for virtual sensor development, and optimize neural field operators for real-time scene reconstruction. This role requires expertise in C++ and Python, deep knowledge of GPU architecture, and familiarity with multimodal foundation models adapted for real-time workloads, making you a key player in transforming how machines perceive the world through high-throughput sensor processing.
