Job Description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Director of Engineering to lead international teams in developing systems and algorithms for autonomous driving. This role focuses on building a data engine that powers advanced AI platforms, requiring extensive experience in data processing and algorithm development.

Requirements

  • 15+ overall years of industry experience including 5+ years in technical leadership, director-level, or equivalent.
  • Bachelors degree or equivalent experience.
  • Demonstrated success leading distributed engineering or data-focused teams.
  • Deep understanding of algorithm development for data mining, filtering, clustering, or scenario discovery.
  • Hands-on experience with VLMs, LLMs, or multimodal AI systems applied to perception, data triage, or automated labeling.
  • Prior experience in the autonomous vehicle ecosystem — perception, mapping, robotics, ADAS/AD, or AV data workflows.
  • Strong expertise in large-scale data processing, systems build, or machine learning pipelines.
  • Strong communication, careful planning, and technical leadership capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, encourage, and develop world-class engineering and data teams distributed across Europe and the United States.
  • Architect and operationalize NVIDIA’s end-to-end data curation strategy, powering AI training, simulation, and continuous AV performance improvements.
  • Invent and deploy brand new algorithms that mine, classify, and surface the most valuable driving scenarios from massive real-world and simulated datasets.
  • Collaborate closely with NVIDIA research, AV perception, mapping, simulation, and fleet operations teams to ensure timely, high-fidelity data delivery.
  • Drive scale: build systems that operate reliably across billions of frames, thousands of edge cases, and diverse sensor configurations.
  • Champion data quality and metadata standards that accelerate development and improve safety and performance.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
