The Autonomous Vehicles Platform team is now looking for a Senior System Software Engineer.
Our team builds the
NVIDIA DriveWorks SDK with the goal to provide a scalable software stack and framework to build autonomous vehicles.
We are seeking software engineers with interests in designing, developing and maintaining many aspects of the core technology around sensor drivers and interfaces, data streaming, data recording and playback, and vehicle interface abstraction.
What You Will Be Doing:
• Create and optimize software architecture and frameworks for real-world performance while matching or exceeding customer requirements.
• Working with vendors developing innovative sensors for vehicles.
• Developing sensor drivers, plug-ins, and processing functions around sensor data.
• Create highly efficient sensor data recording, playback and visualization tools.
• Performing in-vehicle tests, collecting data and analyzing integrity.
