Software Manager, Planning and Control - Autonomous Vehicles

We are seeking an energetic, hardworking manager to lead a team of developers through the productization and delivery of crucial ADAS and autonomy functions. In this role, you will participate in the full development life-cycle of the product. You will act as both a technical leader, as well as, a career mentor. Similarly, you will bridge the gap between engineering, product, and project management teams.

What you'll be doing:

We believe that the maturation and productization of any ADAS or autonomy function entails a diversity of activities, including:

• Setting the algorithmic direction (trajectory planning, decision making) for the function

• Providing the generalized software architecture

• Designing system interfaces that are general and scale-able across multiple programs with different customers

• Building an ambitious testing infrastructure to mature the feature through automated regressions, unit testing, as well as in-vehicle evaluations

• Collaborating with system engineering to write succinct and achievable engineering requirements at the vehicle, subsystem, and element level

• Providing career development to each of your team members through constructive reviews and performance feedback

What we need to see:

• BS or higher in an engineering or technical field (Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, Physics, etc.) or equivalent experience

• 8+ years of software product experience

• 3+ years of team lead or management experience

• Experience writing software in C++ or C

• Conversant with an Agile/Scrum software development environment using Gerrit (or similar), Jira, and Confluence

• Well practiced developing software with GIT in a Linux environment

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

We definitely want to hear from you if you are an upbeat contributor with a background that includes one or more of the following:

• Experience shipping ADAS or Autonomy functions in a software driven culture

• Experience shipping products, especially building from a clean sheet design

• Background in building a robust software testing infrastructure

• Experience developing algorithms for physical systems and maturing such algorithms to real products

• A background in automotive systems, including system architecture and CAN communication.

Academic and commercial groups around the world are powering a revolution in artificial intelligence using deep learning techniques running on NVIDIA GPUs, enabling breakthroughs in problems from image classification to speech recognition to natural language processing and autonomous vehicles. Intelligent AI 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 outstanding time. The era of AI has begun and NVIDIA is leading the drive with groundbreaking hardware and software. Come join us at NVIDIA!
