About the role

Senior Perception Engineer to develop and productize NVIDIA’s autonomous driving perception solutions, focusing on online mapping, road layouts, lane structures, boundaries, and traffic elements across diverse driving environments.

Responsibilities

  • Design end2end solutions for Perception and AV stack to enable road network detections across various driving environments from complex intersections to rural curvy roads to multi-level highways
  • Applied research and development of innovative deep learning models for lane graph construction, road boundary detection, traffic element recognition, and other static-world tasks
  • Develop generalizable approaches to support diverse ODDs and Country/region expansion
  • Drive and prioritize data-driven development by working with large data collection and labeling teams to bring in high value data to improve perception system accuracy
  • Efforts will include data collection prioritization and planning, labeling prioritization, labeling efficiency optimization, so that value of data is maximized
  • Leverage data simulation and augmentation for solving extreme scenarios
  • Productize the developed perception solutions by meeting product requirements for safety, latency, and SW robustness.

Qualifications

  • Minimum Requirement: 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.
  • 2+ years of technical leadership demonstrating high technical and organizational complexity is a big plus.
  • 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 data-driven development and collaboration with data and ground truth teams.
  • Strong programming skills in python and/or C++.
  • Outstanding communication and teamwork skills as we work as a tightly-knit team, always discussing and learning from each other.
