·FY 2025Job description
NVIDIA is looking for a highly motivated Software Engineer to join its Autonomous Vehicle Simulation team. The role focuses on building and scaling realistic virtual environments to enhance the training, testing, and validation of autonomous driving software. The team aims to enable large-scale simulation and debugging of AV algorithms across diverse scenarios. This position requires deep performance optimization and systems-level analysis across the software stack.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
- 5+ years of relevant autonomous vehicles industry experience.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, PyTorch, and Linux/bash scripting.
- Experience with modern software engineering and infrastructure tools such as Docker, Bazel, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, and distributed systems tooling.
- Strong background in computer vision, deep learning, simulation systems, or related domains.
- Excellent analytical and mathematical problem-solving skills.
- Ability to independently drive complex projects from concept to production.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills.
- Experience in machine learning, large-scale systems, analytics, statistics, or applied mathematics.
Responsibilities
- Develop scalable simulation platforms and workflows for autonomous driving validation and training.
- Work on Real2Sim and Sim2Real domain adaptation technologies to transform real-world driving incidents into diverse simulation scenarios.
- Contribute across a multidisciplinary stack involving system software and distributed infrastructure, neural graphics and rendering, generative AI and synthetic data generation, computer vision and deep learning, and real-to-synthetic domain adaptation.
- Optimize large-scale simulation workflows for performance, scalability, reliability, and production deployment.
- Collaborate closely with researchers, infrastructure engineers, and product teams across NVIDIA.
- Drive technology transfer into production products and contribute to open-source initiatives where applicable.
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.
