Senior Perception AI Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles
NVIDIA, US, CA, Santa Clara
The role
Self-driving cars need to understand the road ahead in real time, even without a prior map. Our team builds the online mapping system that turns raw data from multiple sensors into an accurate, continuously updated 3D model of the driving environment. This model captures lanes, road boundaries, crosswalks, intersection layouts, and traffic control information to support decisions across the autonomous driving system. You’ll write the models, write the C++, and ship both into vehicles on the road, running on NVIDIA DRIVE Orin and Thor.
The tasks you perform will be tested at scale, on real cars, with real safety requirements. NVIDIA’s autonomous driving stack spans the full range of automation, and online mapping is a core component across it, so your work will reach L2++, L3, and L4 systems. The role spans two subject areas, and we want someone who enjoys both:
