## Description

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Perception Engineer to develop and productize NVIDIA's autonomous driving solutions. As a member of our perception team, you will work on building world-class 3D obstacle perception solutions based on multi-sensor fusion, including cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and radar, to estimate high-resolution reconstruction of the world. The primary approach will be deep learning. You will be challenged to improve robustness and accuracy as well as efficiency of the solutions to fully enable autonomous driving anywhere and anytime.

**Responsibilities:**

- Develop and apply deep learning models for multi-sensor fusion based obstacle perception in complex driving environments.

- Conduct applied research and development of innovative deep learning and multi-sensor fusion algorithms to improve output accuracy of 3D obstacle perception solutions under challenging and diverse scenarios.

- Analyze the strength and weakness of developed 3D obstacle perception solutions using large scale benchmark data and improve them iteratively through KPI building and optimization.

- Productize developed 3D obstacle perception solutions by meeting product requirements for safety, latency, and SW robustness, with a strong emphasis on production deep learning model development.

- Prioritize data-driven development by working with large data collection and labeling teams to bring in high value data to improve perception system accuracy.

**Requirements:**

- 10+ years of hands-on work experience in developing deep learning and algorithms to solve sophisticated real-world problems, and proficiency in using deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch).

- Experience in multi-sensor fusion (cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radar) for perception tasks, particularly in high-resolution world reconstruction.

- Proven experience in production deep learning model development, including careful data verification, model architecture design, loss function engineering, and debugging ML models.

- Experience in data-driven development and collaboration with data and ground truth teams.

- Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++.

- Outstanding communication and teamwork skills.

- BS/MS/PhD in CS, EE, sciences or related fields (or equivalent experience).

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience on end-to-end deep learning model development.

- Proven expertise in developing perception solutions for autonomous driving or robotics using deep learning with multi-sensor input.

- Hands-on experience in developing and deploying DNN-based solutions to embedded platforms for real-time applications.

- Good understanding of fundamentals of 3D computer vision, camera calibrations, and sensor fusion principles.

- Experience with development in CUDA language.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
