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

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA

Senior Software Engineer focused on multi-sensor fusion for obstacle perception in autonomous driving solutions. The role involves designing, developing, and productizing robust tracking and fusion algorithms to improve the accuracy, consistency, and efficiency of detecting dynamic obstacles. Key responsibilities include analyzing algorithm performance, defining metrics, and ensuring solutions meet safety and latency requirements.

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.
