Senior Integration Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles

Intelligent machines powered by Artificial Intelligence computers that can learn, reason and interact with people are no longer science fiction. Today, a self-driving car powered by AI can meander through a country road at night and find its way. An AI-powered robot can learn motor skills through trial and error - this is truly an extraordinary time and the era of AI has begun. Image recognition and speech recognition - GPU Deep Learning has provided the foundation for machines to learn, perceive, reason and solve problems. The GPU started out as the engine for simulating human creativity, conjuring up the amazing virtual worlds of video games and Hollywood films. Now, NVIDIAs GPU runs Deep Learning algorithms, simulating human intelligence, and acts as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Just as human imagination and intelligence are linked, computer graphics and AI come together in our architecture. Two modes of the human brain, two modes of the GPU. This may explain why NVIDIA GPUs are used broadly for Deep Learning, and NVIDIA is increasingly known as "the AI computing company." Make the choice to join us today.

Our team builds NVIDIAs end-to-end autonomous driving application. We are seeking software engineers, who want to work "full stack" on crafting self-driving solutions on NVIDIAs multi-computer and heterogeneous hardware architectures.
