Description
Join NVIDIA's DRIVE Road Structure, Online Mapping, and Context Fusion team to shape the future of autonomous driving. You'll play a key part in developing a comprehensive 3D world model by integrating map and perception data, enabling vehicles to navigate complex roads and intersections in the U.S. and Europe.
Responsibilities:
- Develop Core Autonomous Driving Features: Create foundational systems for autonomous driving across diverse geographies by merging state-of-the-art perception DNNs and map data.
- Build Real-Time 3D World Models: Integrate sensor and external inputs to generate dynamic 3D models for planning and navigation.
- Enable HD Mapless Driving: Design enriched bird’s-eye-view (BEV) models to support autonomous driving in complex urban environments.
- Enhance AV Scenarios: Construct fused static obstacle and occupancy grids, and generate occlusion masks to improve scenario understanding.
- Lead Technology Initiatives: Guide the team in solving challenging AV problems and collaborate hands-on to drive innovation.
- Mentor and Grow the Team: Recruit, hire, and mentor talented engineers.
- Ensure Quality and Safety: Develop algorithms that perform reliably on large datasets across varied conditions, adhering to automotive quality and safety standards.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 10+ years of experience, including at least 2 years in autonomous vehicles or robotics.
- 2+ years of technical leadership experience.
- Deep passion for robotics and autonomous vehicles.
- Eagerness to learn and solve impactful challenges.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially with global teams.
- Strong independent and analytical software engineering abilities.
- Experience with embedded or automotive software development.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Expertise in 3D geometry, computer vision, sensor calibration, or state estimation (e.g., Kalman/particle filters).
- Significant industry experience with self-driving cars.
- Background in developing real-time computer vision systems.
- Strong skills in API and framework design.
