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 work on building world-class 3D obstacle perception solutions based on multi-sensor fusion, including cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and radar, to estimate high-resolution reconstruction of the world. The primary approach will be deep learning. 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:** * Perception experts with application focus will be on multi-sensor fusion based deep learning model development for obstacle perception/fusion in complex driving environments. * Applied research and development of innovative deep learning and multi-sensor fusion algorithms to improve output accuracy of 3D obstacle perception solutions under challenging and diverse scenarios. * Identify and analyze the strength and weakness of the developed 3D obstacle perception solutions using large scale benchmark data (both real and synthetic) and improve them iteratively through KPI building and optimization. This includes careful data verification, model architecture design, understanding details of loss function engineering, and being capable of finding detailed ML bugs and iterating toward perfection. * Productize the developed 3D obstacle perception solutions by meeting product requirements for safety, latency, and SW robustness, with a strong emphasis o
