About the role

NVIDIA AI is seeking a senior engineer to design and integrate planning frameworks connecting AI driving models with deterministic safety systems and vehicle dynamics. You will develop runtime arbitration and safety enforcement to ensure AI-generated trajectories are physically feasible and deployable on automotive hardware. This role demands deep C++ expertise and a strong background in autonomous systems.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
