NVIDIA is seeking a Director-level technical leader to define and build an advanced AI-native autonomous driving architecture. This role involves integrating classical safety-focused systems with modern AI approaches to create a unified production platform for autonomous vehicles. The successful candidate will lead a high-performing team and drive technology from research to production. This position offers the opportunity to shape the future of autonomous systems and make a significant impact in the field.

• PhD with 12+ years, MS with 10+ years, or BS with 15+ years of relevant industry experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience leading a team.
• Significant technical leadership experience, including leading senior engineers, architects, and/or engineering managers.
• Extensive knowledge of traditional driverless vehicle system designs, including prediction, planning, decision making, control, safety, redundancy, and fallback systems.
• Solid grasp of modern learning-based autonomy, including end-to-end driving models and large-scale machine learning systems.

• Set the technical vision and architecture for NVIDIA’s next-generation autonomous driving stack.
• Build and lead a high-performing organization of engineers and technical leaders.
• Define how classical safety-critical autonomy and learned driving systems work together within a unified production architecture.
• Drive the architecture for robust system-level safety, redundancy, fallback, and degraded-mode strategies.
• Lead the development and productionization of end-to-end, data-driven autonomous driving pipelines.

• 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.
