At NVIDIA, we are building the next generation AI-native autonomous driving architecture - combining classical safety stacks, foundation models, and scalable AI systems into a unified production platform. Autonomous driving is entering a new era. The next generation of AV systems will not be purely classical robotics stacks, nor purely end-to-end neural networks. The future lies in the deep integration of classical safety architectures and large-scale AI-driven systems. If you want to work on problems that build the future of autonomous systems over the next decade, this is the place.
What You'll Be Doing:- You will compose and build the architecture behind next-generation self-driving vehicle technology.
- Work on Prediction, Decision, Planning and Control architecture
- Have exposure to Classical safety stack
- Build robust system-level safety and fallback strategies
- Work on End-to-end data-driven AV pipelines
- Hands on experience in DVLA / VA driving models
- Develop a World Model-based planning and reasoning model
- Have the exposure to engage with Large-scale model inference architecture
- Contribute to the integration of innovative research in robotics into our self-driving vehicle technologies.
- Deep knowledge of E2E AV software integration from perception through control, including dependencies, interface management, and performance tuning.
What We Need To See:We're looking for engineers who can build systems - not just components.
- 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.
- Production experience in autonomous driving systems
- Worked on AI foundation models or large-scale ML systems
- Helped drive End-to-end driving models
- Experience working on Robotics or embodied AI systems
- Knowledge and experience in System architecture from 0 1 scale.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:- PhD in a relevant field or related research experience
- Knowledge of CUDA is a plus
NVIDIA is widely recognized as one of the world's most innovative technology companies - driving breakthroughs in AI, autonomous systems, and high-performance computing.
