About the role

NVIDIA seeks a Sr Research Scientist for Autonomous Vehicles to advance fundamental and applied research in vehicle autonomy. You will design cutting-edge techniques, publish in top venues, and collaborate across perception, ML, and robotics teams. This role emphasizes real‑world impact, including transferring research to production‑grade systems and contributing open‑source work. Requires PhD, 6+ years, strong Python/C++, CUDA, and PyTorch/Tensor Flow experience.

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.
