The role is for an engineer on the NVIDIA DRIVE Mapping team, focusing on developing solutions for AI-enabled autonomous vehicles. The team is responsible for creating and optimizing maps that enhance vehicle localization, routing, and navigation. Engineers will work on complex problems related to self-driving technology, utilizing their expertise in software design and real-time systems. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to the future of self-driving cars by delivering efficient map solutions.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience with a BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • Background in computer vision, 3D geometry, and machine learning
  • Hands-on experience with tools like Claude CLI, Cursor, and other advanced code assistants
  • Strong prompt-crafting skills for problem-solving with AI
  • Passion for robotics and autonomous vehicles

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop algorithms for map-based driving products
  • Architect solutions for map provider, health monitors, and data fusion with perception
  • Develop highly efficient in-vehicle code in C++14 or later
  • Research and develop transformer-based models tailored for graphs
  • Implement evaluation frameworks to measure performance of large scale LLMs
  • Analyze and fine-tune SOTA pretrained models on domain-specific datasets
  • Build automated map content analysis in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript
  • Create scalable and distributed map-building workflows

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.
