Description

We are seeking an extraordinary Senior Software Engineer in multi-sensor fusion for obstacle perception to develop and productize NVIDIA's autonomous driving solutions. As a member of our perception team, you will work on building world-class solutions for obstacle perception by tracking and fusing multiple frames from multiple sources of detections.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop a robust tracking and fusion algorithm that improves the accuracy and consistency of the detection of dynamic obstacles, moving or stationary, such as vehicles, VRUs, cones, and barrels, and road hazards.
  • Identify and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the developed obstacle perception and fusion under complicated and diverse scenarios.
  • Productize the developed perception solutions by meeting product requirements for safety, latency, and SW robustness.
  • Define and develop meaningful performance metrics for the perception of dynamic obstacles, which guide the algorithm iterations and prevent regression with large-scale offline data sets.

Requirements:

  • PhD with 4+ years, MS with 6+ years, or BS (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years of relevant experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience in related fields of SW development, with the most recent 5+ years of hands-on work experience in developing perception and fusion algorithms to solve sophisticated real-world problems.
  • Familiarity with common data association and fusion algorithms.
  • Experience in data-driven development and collaboration with data and ground truth teams.
  • Strong programming skills in modern C++.
  • Outstanding communication and teamwork skills as we work as a tightly-knit team, always discussing and learning from each other.

Nice to Have:

  • Proven expertise in developing perception solutions for autonomous driving or robotics.
  • Hands-on experience with Camera, Radar, Lidar, and/or ultrasonic sensors.
  • Background in multi-view geometry and occupancy grid tracking.
