Senior Software Engineer, Multi-sensor-fusion - Autonomous Vehicles

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

Senior Software Engineer at NVIDIA focused on developing and productizing multi-sensor fusion algorithms for obstacle perception in autonomous driving solutions. The role involves designing, developing, and improving tracking and fusion algorithms to enhance the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of detecting dynamic obstacles, with a strong emphasis on meeting product requirements for safety and latency.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and develop a robust tracking and fusion algorithm that improves the accuracy and consistency of the detection of dynamic obstacles, moving or stationary, such as vehicles, VRUs, cones and barrels, and road hazards.
  2. Identify and analyze the strength and weakness of the developed obstacle perception and fusion under complicated and diverse scenarios.
  3. Productize the developed perception solutions by meeting product requirements for safety, latency, and SW robustness.
  4. Define and develop meaningful performance metrics for the perception of dynamic obstacles, which guide the algorithm iterations and prevent regression with large-scale offline data sets.

Skills

Required
