The posting

At NVIDIA, we are seeking exceptional engineers to join our autonomous driving team to design, implement, and deploy cutting-edge end-to-end autonomous driving systems, running on NVIDIA chips in mass-production vehicles. Our strategy has evolved from AI 1.0 — building a driver from scratch — to AI 2.0 — teaching an intelligent agent to drive. This next phase leverages LLMs, VLMs, and VLAs to bring unprecedented reasoning, planning capabilities, and interactivity with the driving system to autonomous vehicles and general robotics. Let’s build the future of autonomy—together!

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Design and train innovative large-scale models—including generative, imitation, and reinforcement learning—to improve the planning and reasoning capabilities of our driving systems.
  • Build, pre-train, and fine-tune LLM/VLM/VLA systems for deployment in real-world autonomous driving and robotics applications.
  • Explore novel data generation and collection strategies to improve diversity and quality of training datasets.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deploy AI models in production environments, ensuring performance, safety, and reliability standards are met.
  • Integrate machine learning models directly with vehicle firmware to deliver production-quality, safety-critical software.

What We Need to See:

  • Hands-on experience building LLMs, VLMs, or VLAs from scratch or a proven track record as a top-tier coder passionate about autonomous systems.
  • Deep understanding of modern deep learning architectures and optimization techniques.
  • Proven record of deploying production-grade ML models for self-driving, robotics, or related fields at scale.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency with major deep learning frameworks.
  • Familiarity with C++ for model deployment and integration in safety-critical systems.
  • PhD with 4+ years, MS (or equivalent experience) with 6+ years of relevant experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Experience with LLM/VLM/VLA systems deployable to autonomous vehicles or general robotics.
  • Publications, open-source contributions, or competition wins related to LLM/VLM/VLA systems.
  • Deep understanding of behavior and motion planning in real-world AV applications.
  • Experience building and training large-scale datasets and models.
  • Proven ability to optimize algorithms for real-time performance in resource-constrained environments and strong track record of taking projects from concept to production deployment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
