Project Manager Autonomous Vehicles Jobs (NOW HIRING)

## Senior Research Scientist - Autonomous VehiclesApplylocations: US, CA, Santa Claratime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Yesterdayjob requisition id: JR2005596We are now seeking a Sr Research Scientist for Autonomous Vehicles!NVIDIA is recruiting top Senior Research Scientists for Autonomous Vehicle Research! AI-powered autonomous vehicles that can learn, reason, and interact with people are no longer science fiction. Self-driving cars, autonomous delivery vehicles, and autonomous construction vehicles, among others, are getting increasingly close to widespread deployment. However, fundamental research questions still need to be addressed for us to achieve full vehicle autonomy. For instance, how can we: Enable novel training paradigms that leverage simulation to train AV policies in closed-loop? Equip autonomous vehicles with online and offline assurances that meet the standards for safety-critical systems? Ensure that autonomous vehicles work seamlessly in new places?These are some of the exciting questions that the NVIDIA Autonomous Vehicle Research group is tackling. We bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary research team working on core topics in vehicle autonomy, including agent behavior models, end-to-end AV architectures, AI safety, closed-loop training approaches, and AV foundation models (VLMs, reasoning models, etc.). Our focus is on basic and applied research; lab members are encouraged to publish their work and open-source code as well as provide real-world impact by deploying technology within production systems. NVIDIA is well known for its team culture, and lab researchers are able to closely interact with others within the company who are experts in perception systems, machine learning, and robotics. There is an opportunity to make a strong impact on products, while having the freedom and bandwidth to conduct ground-breaking publishable research.****What you'll be doing:***** Designing and implementing cutting-edge techniques in the field of vehicle autonomy.* Publish and present your original research, speak at conferences and events.* Collaborate with other research team members, a diverse set of internal product teams, and external researchers.* Have a broader impact through the transfer and/or open-source of the technology you've developed to relevant product groups.* Collaborate closely with product teams to transfer research results into high-end, production-level systems.****What we need to see:***** Ph.D. in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).* 6+ years of relevant research experience in the field of vehicle / robot autonomy.* Strong knowledge of theory and practice of vehicle / robot autonomy, or a related area with a strong interest in connecting your work to autonomous vehicles.* A track record of research excellence with your work published in top conferences and journals such as RSS, ICRA, IJRR, NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, TAC, etc, and other research artifacts such as software projects* Excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills* Exceptional programming skills in Python; C++ and parallel programming (e.g., CUDA).* Solid understanding of common machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch and Tensorflow.* Strong communication and interpersonal skills are required along with the ability to work in a dynamic, research-focused team.NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers.
