We are seeking an energetic, hardworking Senior Software Engineer to join our Prediction team and develop key autonomous driving features for our DRIVE solution. In this role, you will spearhead work on various planning problems to build robust software solutions. Through effective collaboration with established teams, you will help design and mature new products all the way through to production.

What you'll be doing:

Maturing and productizing new features entails a diversity of activities, including:

  • Architecting new designs to enable new functions or to improve performance.

  • Leading engineering efforts to develop, tune, and verify algorithms and software using both ML based approach and classical approach in vehicle, VRU, and other object prediction

  • Debugging and addressing different issues identified in simulations and in test drives.

  • Collaborating with our globally distributed team to enhance the software architecture, improving development processes and tooling

  • Defining and verifying product requirements through detailed analysis, simulation, in-car testing, and benchmarking existing products.

We definitely want to hear from you if you are an upbeat contributor with a background that includes one or more of the following:

  • Experience shipping automotive software products, especially Autonomous Driving or ADAS.

  • Exposure to regulatory standards such as ISO 26262 and safety decompositions (ASIL) or an industry equivalent. Prior experience in building safety critical software architectures.

  • Experience building deep learning based prediction system with different model training/inference is a must.

  • An expertise in fundamental physics - kinematic and dynamic models of rigid bodies is a must.

  • Background with traditional planning algorithms (A*, D*, RRTs, probabilistic roadmaps, etc.) is a plus.

Academic and commercial groups around the world are powering a revolution in artificial intelligence using deep learning techniques running on NVIDIA GPUs, enabling breakthroughs in problems from image classification to speech recognition to natural language processing and autonomous vehicles. Intelligent AI computers that can learn, reason and interact with people are no longer science fiction. Today, a self-driving car powered by AI can meander through a country road at night and find its way. An AI-powered robot can learn motor skills through trial and error. This is truly an outstanding time. The era of AI has begun and NVIDIA is owning the drive with revolutionary hardware and software. Come join us at NVIDIA!

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
