Senior Research Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles

Job description

The position will aid fundamental research with the freedom and bandwidth to conduct ground-breaking publishable research. At the same time, you will also have the opportunity to impact products and collaborate with teams that focus on AI products based on CUDA, physically-based simulation, graphics, natural language processing, autonomous driving, HW optimization, robotics, healthcare, and many more. NVIDIA has an open and nurturing atmosphere for research that encourages collaboration.

Job responsibilities

  • Develop large-scale supervised learning and reinforcement learning training frameworks to support multi-modal foundation models for AVs capable of running on thousands of GPUs;
  • Optimize GPU and cluster utilization for efficient model training and fine-tuning on massive datasets;
  • Implement scalable data loaders and preprocessors tailored for multimodal datasets, including videos, text, and sensor data;
  • Build and optimize simulation infrastructure (based on GPU-accelerated simulators) to support the training of driving policies for AVs at scale;
  • Collaborate with researchers to integrate cutting-edge model architectures into scalable training pipelines.
  • Develop sim-to-real transfer pipelines and work closely with the AV product team to deploy to real-world cars;
  • Propose scalable solutions that combine LLMs with policy learning.
  • Apply reinforcement learning to finetune multimodal LLMs.
