We are now looking for a Senior Framework Software Engineer to join our Autonomous Vehicles next generation team. 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.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 on crafting, developing and maintaining the application framework and tools that we use to develop self driving solutions on multi computer and heterogeneous architectures. If you want to be part of the next generation of autonomous vehicle technology, join us!What you will be doing:Developing and optimizing software architecture and frameworks for real-world performance while matching or exceeding customer requirements.Working on areas such as component abstraction layers, inter-process data sharing and communication, and process scheduling.Developing efficient mechanisms to maximize utilization on computers with multiple heterogeneous hardware engines.Solidifying existing frameworks and software components and validate with large amounts of real and synthetic the improvements of the computational performance and system utilization.Performing in-vehicle tests, collecting data and completing autonomous drive missions.Developing unit tests, documentation for features, evaluating quality and proposing corrective actions.Developing highly efficient product code in C++, making use of high algorithmic parallelism offered by GPGPU programming (CUDA). Follow quality and safety standards such as defined by MISRA.What we need to see:5+ years of relevant industry experience.BS/MS or higher or equivalent experience in computer engineering, computer science or related engineering disciplines.Excellent C and C++ programming skills.Experience developing and debugging multithreaded/distributed applications like multimedia systems, game engines, etc.Strong knowledge of programming and debugging techniques, especially for parallel and distributed architectures.Strong knowledge on Linux, Android, and/or other real-time operating systems.Experience with frameworks for robotics such as ROS and/or for multimedia such as GStreamer.Thrive on writing low latency, highly performant code.Great communication and analytical skills.Self-motivated and a great teammate.Ways to stand out from the crowd:Understanding of embedded architectures, image processing APIs (e.g. OpenCV) and MATLAB tools.Experience with any of the following: developing software in heterogeneous architectures, including GPUs; version control systems GIT; build system like CMake/Bazel.Knowledge of automotive systems, notably ADAS applications.Software development for modern OpenGL (Core Profile) and Linux.Demonstrate hands-on and work well within a team of algorithm, software and hardware engineers, with a significant level of detail orientation and a penchant for data organization and presentation.The base salary range is $144,000 - $270,250.
