From NVIDIA's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are recruiting top research engineers in the Autonomous Vehicles Research team at NVIDIA with strong expertise in software engineering and in artificial intelligence topics, such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, and generative modeling. You must have strong programming skills, a solid track record of training deep learning models at scale, and a good mathematical foundation to analyze new AI algorithms.
We focus on AI models for autonomous driving such as agent behavior models, end-to-end AV architectures, AI safety, closed-loop training approaches, and AV foundation models (VLMs, reasoning models, etc.). We will be publishing at top venues and working with the broader scientific community. Communicating with different teams and domain scientists in different areas is essential.
The position will aid fundamental research with the freedom and bandwidth to conduct ground-breaking publishable research. At the same time, you will also have the opportunity to impact products and collaborate with teams that focus on AI products based on CUDA, physically-based simulation, graphics, natural language processing, autonomous driving, HW optimization, robotics, healthcare, and many more. NVIDIA has an open and nurturing atmosphere for research that encourages collaboration.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
10+ years of full-time industry experience in large-scale MLOps and AI infrastructure.
Proven experience designing and optimizing distributed training systems with frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
Deep familiarity with reinforcement learning algorithms like PPO, SAC, or Q-learning, including experience tuning hyperparameters and reward functions.
Familiarity with common policy learning techniques like reward shaping, domain randomization, curriculum learning.
Deep understanding of GPU acceleration, CUDA programming, and cluster management tools like Kubernetes.
Strong programming skills in Python and a high-performance language such as C++ for efficient system development.
Strong experience with large-scale GPU clusters, HPC environments, and job scheduling/orchestration tools (e.g., SLURM, Kubernetes).
