Autonomous Vehicles Engineer Jobs

Intelligent machines powered by Artificial Intelligence 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. Do you agree with us that this truly is an extraordinary time and that the era of AI has begun? We are proud that NVIDIA is playing a meaningful role in this development, where our hardware and software platforms power a large eco-system of partners who are working to deliver products, all over the world. In the space of self-driving cars, Nvidia provides the DRIVE AGX hardware platform which runs our DRIVE software.

We are looking for an Autonomous Vehicles Engineer to join us. An always available map helps tremendously for reliable autonomous driving. In this role, you will help build robust solutions for using ubiquitous navigation maps in our driving stack.

What You'll Be Doing

• Productize all software for real-world deployment to consumer cars, following automotive quality and safety standards (MISRA, ISO26262).
• Fuse perception and map data to provide the most precise and rich model of the environment around the car.
• Write safe, highly efficient real-time code in C++, making use of algorithmic parallelism offered by GPGPU programming in CUDA.
• Design and build robust and accurate solutions for map enhanced autonomous driving.
• Make sure our algorithms work well on large amounts of real and synthetic data, in a diverse range of environments and conditions.

What We Need To See

• A solid foundation in linear algebra and geometric computer vision.
• Meticulous craftsmanship of software in modern C++.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related fields (or equivalent experience).
• 2+ years of proven experience.
• Experience in computer vision, 3D geometry, mapping, localization or related technologies.
• Outstanding communication and teamwork skills, as this project requires both cross-team collaboration and work in a tightly-knit team.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Significant industry experience in above areas.
• Experience with CUDA parallel programming.
• Experience developing real-time Computer Vision systems.

We believe that realizing self-driving cars will be a defining contribution of our generation (e.g. traffic accidents cause ~1.25 million deaths per year world-wide). We have the funding and scale, but we need your help on our team! NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers with some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working here. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
