Principal Software Engineer, Vehicle Dynamics Simulation - AV

Job description

At NVIDIA, we are advancing autonomous vehicle development through scalable simulation, AI, and thorough validation. Our Autonomous Vehicle Simulation team builds systems that help engineers develop, test, debug, and improve driving behavior before it reaches the road. We connect planner and controller intent to realistic motion across highway, city, parking, and active-safety scenarios. In this Principal-level individual contributor role, you’ll shape a production vehicle dynamics simulation framework spanning model fidelity, parameter adaptation, software interfaces, validation, and integration.

Job responsibilities

  • Be responsible for the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap for vehicle dynamics simulation across highway, city, parking, active-safety, and low-speed workflows.
  • Develop production-quality C++ interfaces for simplified, replay-based, and high-fidelity multibody models.
  • Create scalable model-selection, parameter-identification, adaptation, and validation workflows for diverse vehicle platforms.
  • Translate trajectory and control commands into time-aligned motion, state, and diagnostic outputs.
  • Establish model parameters, software boundaries, regression metrics, compatibility practices, and release gates.
  • Partner with planning and controls, parking, active safety, simulation reliability, synthetic data, and product teams.
  • Set technical standards, mentor engineers, and supply hands-on through design, implementation, debugging, testing, and documentation.
