Join NVIDIA’s autonomous driving team as a senior engineer, where you will design and implement advanced AI systems that power mass-production vehicles. Your daily tasks include training large-scale models using generative, imitation, and reinforcement learning techniques to enhance planning and reasoning in autonomous driving. You’ll also build and fine-tune LLM/VLM/VLA systems for real-world deployment, ensuring they meet stringent safety standards. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate these AI models into vehicle firmware, delivering production-quality software. Ideal candidates have hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch, strong Python programming skills, and proficiency in C++ for model deployment. A PhD with 4+ years of relevant experience or an MS with 6+ years is preferred, along with a track record of deploying ML models at scale in self-driving cars or robotics applications.
Design and train innovative large-scale models to enhance planning and reasoning capabilities of driving systems.
Build, pre-train, and fine-tune LLM/VLM/VLA systems for deployment in autonomous vehicles and robotics applications.
Develop novel data generation strategies to improve the diversity and quality of training datasets.
Ensure performance, safety, and reliability standards are met when deploying AI models in production environments.
Integrate machine learning models directly with vehicle firmware to deliver production-quality software.
What we're looking for
Hands-on experience with LLMs, VLMs, or VLAs or a top-tier coding background in autonomous systems.
Deep understanding of modern deep learning architectures and optimization techniques.
Proven track record deploying production-grade ML models for self-driving or robotics applications at scale.
Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency with major deep learning frameworks.
Familiarity with C++ for model deployment in safety-critical vehicle environments.
