NVIDIA is seeking an experienced Motion Planning Senior Software Development Engineer to develop key features for its autonomous driving platform. The role involves working on trajectory planning and motion planning problems to create focused software solutions. The engineer will collaborate with established teams to design and mature new products from initial design to production. This position offers an opportunity to make a significant impact in the field of autonomous driving.

• PhD with 1+ years, MS with 3+ years, or BS with 5+ years of relevant experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Proven ability to develop high-quality C++ software within large, collaborative codebases.
• Strong skills in applied mathematics, with proficiency in linear algebra, differential equations, numerical methods, and convex optimization.

• Lead the entire feature lifecycle, driving motion planning solutions from initial design through to full productization and deployment.
• Model L2, L3, and L4 vehicle behaviors and driving modes by formulating them as optimal-control problems.
• Integrate perception, prediction data, and user-comfort preferences through deep collaboration with prediction and behavior planning teams.
• Enhance driving behavior and support overall product quality by engaging in continuous issue triage alongside product and user-experience engineers.
• Improve optimization solver performance using instruction parallelization and memory optimization techniques.

• 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.
