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). ### AI-Assisted Workflow Automation Leverage AI agents, autonomous scripts, and automated regression frameworks to scale continuous performance evaluation. ### Cross-Functional RCA Partner closely with Architecture, ASIC, Firmware, and Software engineering groups to conduct rigorous Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and establish performance targets for upcoming pre- and post-silicon platforms. ### What We Need to See B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer/Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. 5+ years of experience in low-level networking, storage acceleration, and systems-level performance tuning in cloud or HPC environments. Direct hands-on experience with at least two of the following: DOCA, SPDK, VirtIO, RDMA/RoCEv2, TCP/IP. Strong programming proficiency in C, Python, and Linux shell scripting (Bash). Micro-architectural understanding of modern CPU/ASIC memory hierarchies, PCIe Gen 5/6 interconnects, and Linux kernel networking stacks. Proven track record using AI coding agents or automated script generators to streamline daily engineering workflows. ### Ways to Stand Out from the crowd Deep hands-on experience tuning NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, ConnectX SmartNICs, or custom hardware offload engines. Mastery of the full SPDK & NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) storage stack over high-speed RDMA transport layers. Comprehensive system-level understanding across x86 (Intel/AMD) and Arm architectures, PCIe topology, and GPUDirect Storage (GDS). Proven experience isolating stragglers and tail latency in multi-tenant, cloud-scale environments. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 29, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Nov 3, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 10, 2026 - Listed for: 12 days - Location: Multiple locations[Apply on NVIDIA’s careers site →](https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/Israel-Yokneam/Senior-Performance-Research-and-Analysis-Engineer_JR2028611) ## Hiring at NVIDIA - Open jobs: 2,784 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 10, 2026 [All NVIDIA jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at NVIDIA ### [Senior Quantum Applied Research Scientist, Calibration and Decoding](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/jobs/b17bb0727707c5027479/) ### [Senior Quantum Applied Research Scientist, Physics Modeling](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/jobs/137cfaf5aecc5090bf88/) ### [Senior Research Engineer - Enterprise Products](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/jobs/f11af4fc15e4ec1f0dcc/) ### [Senior Physical Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/jobs/b45c31e73640a653fc82/) ### [Senior Physical Design Interposer Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/nvidia/jobs/b1b2c47dd90a6a96a6d2/) ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [GPU Performance Analysis Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/d98dda5b05c8780db4ea/) Qualcomm · Shanghai, China ### [Portfolio and Performance Analysis](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/jpmorganchase/jobs/3824dcdcc5417556dd48/) JPMorganChase · Metro Manila, National Capital Region, Philippines ### [Spécialiste en dimensionnement des systèmes d'air (Analyse de Performance) / Air System Sizing Specialist (Performance Analysis)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/airbus/jobs/fef36246d730a4756d5b/) AIRBUS · Montreal Area ### [Digital IC Design Engineer (Performance Verification and Analysis)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/mediatek/jobs/3bbb18e33586dd2b050f/) MediaTek · ChuPei [Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
