NVIDIA, the AI computing powerhouse, is on the lookout for visionary minds to join our Digital Human LLM Team. Be part of a revolution that's transforming AI from being responsive to being truly conversational, embodied, and intelligent. From virtual characters that interact seamlessly to robots navigating complex environments, you will build solutions that push the frontiers of what AI can achieve.

Imagine developing AI that perceives, reasons, and communicates naturally — and doing it on the world's most advanced AI platform, NeMo LLM.


What You’ll Do:

  • Build and deploy state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) that drive next-gen embodied conversational systems.
  • Lead innovation in multimodal AI — blending vision, speech, and text for dynamic interactions.
  • Develop frameworks for dialogue reasoning, speech synthesis, environment interaction, and animation control.
  • Explore embodied AI paradigms, from simulated characters to real-world robots.
  • Apply cutting-edge techniques like RLHF, LoRA, and instruction tuning to optimize AI performance.
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver impactful AI products used by millions.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Advanced Degree: Master’s (or equivalent experience) or PhD in Computer Science, AI, Applied Mathematics, or related fields.
  • Experience: 5+ years building and training models using CNNs, Transformers, BERT, and GPT.
  • Coding Skills: Python mastery with a strong foundation in optimization and software design.
  • Hands-On Expertise: Conversational AI technologies, training with PyTorch, and familiarity with MLOps workflows.
  • Collaborative Spirit: A leader who thrives in a dynamic, innovative environment.

Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Fluency in a non-English language (Spanish, Mandarin, German, Japanese, etc.)
  • Proficiency in GPU-based technologies like CUDA and TensorRT
  • Experience integrating AI systems with sensor inputs for real-world applications
  • Strong C++ skills and experience deploying models on data center/cloud systems

Why Join Us?

  • Innovate at Scale: Work with world-class teams developing high-impact AI products.
  • Career Growth: Endless opportunities to grow your expertise at the forefront of AI.
  • Top-Tier Benefits: Competitive salary, equity packages, and a generous benefits program (www.nvidiabenefits.com).
  • Impactful Work: Help redefine how humans and AI communicate and collaborate.
