NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated Sr Sensor Hardware Safety Engineer to lead the hardware safety strategy for sensor systems including cameras, LiDAR, radar, and IMUs. This role is part of the Hardware Safety Engineering team, which focuses on ensuring the safe operation of sensor technologies within NVIDIA's physical AI platforms. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to evaluate sensor safety concepts and integrate them into safety-critical systems. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced sensing, high-performance computing, and safety engineering.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related engineering field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in automotive sensors, hardware systems, functional safety, or a related field.
• Understanding of automotive sensor technologies such as cameras, radar, LiDAR, or IMUs, including their hardware architectures and system interfaces.
• Knowledge of safety analysis methodologies, including FMEA, FMEDA, DFA, and FTA.
• Ability to work effectively with sensor suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams from concept through integration and verification.
• Proven ownership and proactivity, with a strong bias for action and results.
• Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.

• Own the end-to-end sensor hardware safety strategy for cameras, LiDAR, radar, IMUs and other sensors used in NVIDIA automotive systems.
• Support sensor supplier selection through technical and safety evaluations of sensor architectures, safety concepts, safety analysis, and integration assumptions.
• Define and manage sensor hardware safety requirements, including requirements for sensor power, interfaces, timing, synchronization, data integrity, fault detection, and fault response.
• Collaborate with sensor architects, board and system designers, software teams, and validation engineers to develop effective implementations of sensor safety requirements.
• Perform and review safety cases & analyses, including FMEA, FMEDA, DFA, and FTA, and use the results to guide architecture decisions and design improvements.
• Work with third-party suppliers to evaluate safety manuals, analysis reports, assumptions of use, and supporting evidence for sensor integration.
• Develop clear safety documentation, integration guidance, analysis reports, and user-facing safety information for internal teams and customers.

• 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.
