Join NVIDIA's Solution Engineering team that is changing the future of driving. Our goal is to build and deploy scalable solutions for autonomous vehicles and as a result, create safer and more efficient roads. Our team is hands-on, passionate about practical results, and values diversity. You will help craft the application software architecture by working closely with external partners developing on our platform and collaborate across multiple teams within NVIDIA working on autonomous vehicles. You will also advance and refine the overall drivability of our solution, focusing on integration challenges and using your deep analytical skills to tease through the complexity of the system to find effective solutions.
What you'll be doing:
Design, build, and deploy simulation focused tooling and frameworks for current and next generation autonomous vehicle development and testing.
Closely engage with external customers to lead bring-up activities and provide domain expertise to resolve functional and simulation related issues by collaborating with internal engineering and product teams across our US, APAC, and Europe locations.
Integrate hardware and software components efficiently and build scalable software solutions for our partners. Conduct profiling, benchmarking and evaluation activities for verification.
Perform in-vehicle and simulation test drives, collect and perform deep analysis on the recorded data, and use aggregated metrics for simulation-to-real comparative analysis.
Directly impact the future of self-driving car technology!
What we need to see:
Bachelors or Masters in computer science, robotics, computer engineering, or equivalent experience.
6+ years of work related experience in software development related to autonomous driving and/or simulation technologies.
Track record providing robust and efficient solutions for autonomous driving (in car or simulation).
Prior experience in application development and familiarity with middleware frameworks.
Excellent C/C++ development skills with good knowledge of Python.
Knowledgeable with various OS environments such as Linux and real-time operating systems and container-based virtualization workflows.
Ease of adapting to new technologies and platforms.
Ability to adapt to fast paced development lifecycles and multi-functional organizations.
Strong analytical skills, seek innovative solutions, with good attention to details.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience with automotive design processes and norms (e.g. ISO 26262, ASPICE), including in-vehicle testing, simulation and metrics development of autonomous driving systems.
Proven expertise in developing simulation solutions and experience on diverse sensor modalities such as cameras, ultrasonics, and radar.
Understanding of NVIDIA DRIVE platform or NVIDIA GPU hardware, and/or familiarity with CUDA
In-vehicle networking: CAN, Flexray, Ethernet, Some/IP, AUTOSAR
Prior exposure to automotive or related sensors (camera, radar, LIDAR, ultrasonic, GPS, IMU)
