NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. This is our life’s work — to amplify human imagination and intelligence.

We are seeking a systems software expert with strong expertise in SLAM and deep learning for autonomous vehicles, based in Beijing or Shanghai. The ideal candidate will analyze and resolve sensor calibration and SLAM issues throughout the vehicle delivery process. This includes triaging and fixing in-platform and online problems with SLAM and sensor calibration for sensors like cameras, radars, lidars, GNSS, IMU, and CAN odometry. You will also collaborate with the team to design, implement, and deploy advanced end-to-end autonomous driving systems on NVIDIA DRIVE platform in mass-production vehicles. This work leverages LLMs, VLMs, and VLAs to deliver groundbreaking reasoning, planning, and interactivity for autonomous vehicles. Let's build the future of autonomy—together.
