Nintendo of America job listing reveals company is looking for a Data Engineer (machine learning & DLSS)

A new job listing from Nintendo of America seems to be targeted towards the company’s next platform which is currently referred to as Switch 2. The job listing is for a data engineer who has experience with machine learning tools and DLSS upscaling, both of which are rumoured for the Switch 2 platform. Nintendo has yet to announce a successor to the incredibly popular Nintendo Switch though it’s thought to be launching later next year and will be similarly placed to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hardware in a handheld format with DLSS support. Here’s the job description according to the Nintendo of America careers website.

“We at Nintendo are looking for a Data Engineer to help with integration of machine learning technologies on low-power embedded platforms. You will be working at the intersection of machine learning inference engines and embedded systems, facing challenges that stem from processing and memory constraints and a power budget. Tasks include, but are not limited to, porting of machine learning frameworks to embedded platforms, evaluation and benchmarking of machine learning hardware solutions, selection and optimization of machine learning models to fit power, memory, and CPU budgets.”

  1. Nintendo starts thinking of the next generation as soon as the current one releases, this is likely for a generation after the generation following Switch.

    1. What bugs me is all the reports talk about dlss, and this job listing says nothing about dlss and only references porting machine learning.

  2. “Nintendo has yet to announce a successor to the incredibly popular Nintendo Switch though it’s thought to be launching later next year and will be similarly placed to PlayStation 4 and
    Xbox One hardware in a handheld format with DLSS support. ”

    My dear sickr ,all of this is just SPECULATION!

  3. Dlss only matters if the games actually take the time to implement dlss into their games, given how triple A 3rd parties (MK1) and their ilk can’t even be bothered to make sure their games run correctly on switch day 1 without requiring a day 1 patch I severely doubt DLSS will help Nintendo’s new console.
    There is zero quality control on Nintendo’s platform when it comes to 2nd and 3rd party support, even 1st party games lack quality control on release, just look at the latest pokemon releases, still run like garbage.

    1. You doubt too much. You’re still ignoring the fact about the relationship between Nintendo and NVIDIA. Their next generation hybrid platform will use DLSS technology built inside the hardware with ray tracing capabilities.
