You will help build, train, and deploy large-scale E2E driving models that leverage VLM/VLA architectures, and build a data flywheel that continuously improves our systems in the real world! Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world. What you'll be doing: * Designing, implementing, and training large-scale end-to-end driving models. * Driving the data flywheel: identifying failure cases, specifying data collection and labeling needs, and iterating models to close real-world performance gaps. * Building, curating, and maintaining high-quality multimodal datasets (e.g., video, sensor, language/action traces) tailored for end-to-end autonomous driving. * Developing and applying data-centric learning algorithms such as active learning, curriculum learning, automated hard-example mining, outlier and novelty detection, and semi/self-supervised methods. * Exploring and productizing new data sources including simulation, synthetic data, and world-model-based generation/augmentation to improve coverage and robustness. * Designing and implementing agentic data workflows that automate data discovery, labeling, evaluation, and retraining to maximize development velocity. * Foster collaborative partnerships with our researchers and engineers, transforming innovative research into robust, industrial-strength machine learning models. ## Related Videos - [How Machine Learning is turning the Automotive Industry upside down](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/61-how-machine-learning-is-turning-the-automotive-industry-upside-down) - [Machine learning in the browser with TensorFlowjs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/155-machine-learning-in-the-browser-with-tensorflowjs) - [JavaScript?
