Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Systems Software Engineer to optimize deep learning inference for autonomous vehicles and robotics on edge devices. This role involves hands-on analysis of model architectures and performance issues, directly impacting real-time perception and response capabilities. The engineer will collaborate with automotive OEMs and internal teams to enhance edge device capabilities. The position is critical in addressing optimization challenges and delivering effective solutions.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Over 12 years of industry experience, including at least 8 years in deep learning model optimization or inference engineering.
  • Over 5 years of expertise in embedded/edge software with production inference solutions in power-limited environments.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of contemporary deep learning architectures, including transformers and vision encoders.
  • Expert knowledge of GPU architecture, CUDA, and performance optimization tools like TensorRT.

Responsibilities

  • Engage with automotive OEMs and robotics associates to analyze and improve deep learning models on NVIDIA platforms.
  • Drive performance benchmarking efforts to achieve leading results on MLPerf Edge and industry benchmarks.
  • Investigate new deep learning architectures regarding compilation feasibility and latency on target SOCs.
  • Collaborate with compiler, runtime, and hardware teams to link model-level insights with platform capabilities.
  • Build and deploy inference solutions on Jetson, DRIVE, and GPU + ARM platforms for AV and robotics workloads.

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.
