About the role

We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.

Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.

A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.

Intelligent machines powered by Artificial Intelligence computers that can learn, reason and interact with people are no longer science fiction. GPU Deep Learning has provided the foundation for machines to learn, perceive, reason and solve problems. Now, NVIDIA’s GPU runs Deep Learning algorithms, simulating human intelligence, and acts as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world.


We are now looking for an extraordinary Senior Engineer to develop and productize NVIDIA’s autonomous driving solutions. As a member of our prediction team, you will be driving solutions for prediction modules that are responsible for producing multi-modal scene consistent prediction for other road participants. You will be challenged to improve robustness and accuracy as well as efficiency of the solutions to fully enable autonomous driving anywhere and anytime.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing end-to-end solutions for Prediction and AV stack using state of the art ML techniques to enable agents prediction across various driving environments from complex intersections to rural curvy roads to multi-level highways.
  • Applied research and development of innovative deep learning models, including end-to-end models
  • 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 prediction 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 solutions by meeting product requirements for safety, latency, and SW robustness.

What We Need to See:

  • Minimum Requirement: PhD with 6+ years, MS with 10+ years, or BS (or equivalent experience) with 12+ years of meaningful experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 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.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Proven expertise in developing generalizable ML solutions for autonomous driving or robotics.
  • Hands-on experience in developing and deploying DNN-based solutions to embedded platforms for real time applications.
  • Proven expertise in deep learning backed up by technical publications in leading conferences/journals.
  • Expertise with Transformers, BEV architectures, E2E ML systems.
  • Having over 2 years of experience in technical leadership involving significant technical and organizational challenges is highly advantageous.
