Senior Software Engineer, Test - Autonomous Vehicles

NVIDIA is developing autonomous vehicle technologies to transform transportation and advance self-driving cars. The Senior Software Engineer will build robust, scalable simulation infrastructure and develop metrics, test sets, and automation to test and validate autonomous driving systems over millions of virtual miles.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, improve and maintain metrics and test sets that support large-scale KPIs and performance measurements for autonomous driving systems
• Collaborate across engineering, infrastructure, test engineering, and release to build and scale test solutions that address gaps in coverage and frameworks and mitigate risks to the project
• Build and drive improvements to tools that automate and scale test sets through metrics, data quantity, quality, and diversity, enabling a culture of test-driven development across the company
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, promoting a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem solving
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve system-level issues that affect the performance and reliability of our KPIs and simulation frameworks

Requirements:

• BS (or equivalent experience), MS, or PhD in Engineering or Science field
• 5+ years of software engineering and data analysis experience, preferably in the field of simulation, autonomous systems, robotics, artificial intelligence or related areas
• Proficiency in Python and a deep understanding of software engineering practices
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical skills, and technical troubleshooting skills
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Demonstrated ability to perform in situations with high ambiguity and competing priorities
• Curiosity and a desire to “get into the weeds” of a problem
• Background with scaling the use of autonomous vehicles simulation frameworks
• Experience with or knowledge of AI/ML systems, or a background in working with AI-native systems
• Experience in large-scale simulation for hardware or software validation of any robotics solution
