Full Job Description

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. **What You’ll Be Doing:** * Designing end2end solutions for Perception and AV stack to enable road network detections across various driving environments from complex intersections to rural curvy roads to multi-level highways. * Applied research and development of innovative deep learning models for lane graph construction, road boundary detection, traffic element recognition, and other static-world tasks. * 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 perception 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 perception solutions by meeting product requirements for safety,
