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 Perception Engineer to develop and productize NVIDIA’s autonomous driving solutions. As a member of our perception team, you will be driving E2E solutions for perception modules that are responsible for online mapping - including road layouts, lane structures, boundaries, crosswalks, and other traffic components critical for driving without reliance on HD maps. You will be challenged to improve robustness and accuracy as well as efficiency of the solutions to fully enable autonomous driving anywhere and anytime., Intelligent machines powered by AI are no longer science fiction. GPU Deep Learning has made it possible for self-driving cars to learn, perceive, and reason about the world. NVIDIA GPUs power the algorithms that enable both static world understanding and scalable perception across global road systems. Join us and help define the future of reliable, data-driven autonomous driving.
