Senior Software Engineer, Mapping - Autonomous Vehicles

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer for Autonomous Vehicles in the DRIVE mapping team. An always available map helps tremendously for reliable autonomous driving. In this role, you will help build robust solutions for using ubiquitous navigation maps.

We are seeking the best engineers passionate about solving problems for self-driving cars with a background in software design, embedded software, working on real-time software and operating systems. Are you interested in inventing human level AI for navigation in the unconstrained world under any conditions? If so, join us!

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and develop algorithms for map based driving products

• Develop highly efficient code in C++14 or later

• Integrate algorithmic solutions into the core of NVIDIA DRIVE AV

• Analyze & visualize various navigation maps using Python, Typescript or Javascript

• Create scalable and distributed map KPI workflows

What We Need To See

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years of proven experience building robust software

• At least 3 years of modern C++ development experience

• Background in computer vision, 3D geometry and machine learning

• Passion for robotics and autonomous vehicles

• Drive to learn new things and solve meaningful problems

• Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration

• Independent and analytical engineering skills

Ways To Stand Out from the Crowd

• Software development on embedded or automotive platforms.

• Knowledge of gRPC, Flat Buffers and Protocol Buffers

• Experience with GPGPU programming (CUDA).

• Runtime optimization of code using profilers.

• Experience with API and framework design.

We believe that realizing self-driving vehicles will be a defining contribution of our generation (e.g. traffic accidents are responsible for ~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!
