Nvidia is hiring a
System Software Engineer, Planning and Control, Autonomous Vehicles

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. This is our life’s work — to amplify human imagination and intelligence.

NVIDIA China Automotive Software Solution team is searching for a Senior Planning and Control Software Engineer to help us bring NVIDIA's Self Driving solution out to the world and optimize it for China market. As core member of our team, you will be located at NVIDIA Shanghai or Beijing office.
