NVIDIA is in the forefront of autonomous drive technology employing some of the most innovative engineers and technologists. We are seeking outstanding engineers to lead efforts developing the next generation of safe, AI-powered autonomous driving systems. In this role, you will focus on applying safety analysis skills and developing innovative safety concepts for the NVIDIA autonomous drive products. Come and be part of a team developing and aligning safety architecture and requirements across NVIDIA and with our partners.

What you’ll be doing:

• Collaborate with product definition teams to analyze product features, and define the safe behavior of the product

• Work closely with diverse teams of engineers to develop innovative safety concept solutions for handling sophisticated L2++ and L3 use cases, and drive alignment across the NVIDIA engineering organization

• Define quantitative metrics based on risk analysis that can be measured at scale with data and simulation

• Build creative safety architecture solutions for a drive stack heavily based on ML, and work with the wider team to ensure it is implemented and accurately tested

• Perform safety analysis working with teams in multiple domains, including HW and SW teams

• We will count on you to guide teams in system safety methodologies for design and verification

What we need to see:

• BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience

• 8+ years of confirmed experience in a relevant field (SW architecture, ADAS/AV development, automotive, systems engineering, functional safety, SOTIF or other system safety field)

• We are looking for technically strong engineers with a hands-on approach to systems, SW and safety engineering, who thrive working in teams and across multiple domains

• Strong written and verbal communication skills to help guide teams on safety concepts and requirements, and to develop clear and concise safety argumentation

• We seek engineers who bring experience in safety analysis, safety concept development, safety V&V

• Bring a keen eye reviewing existing processes and suggest improvements/optimizations

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands-on experience with innovative safety engineering methodologies – such as HARA, safety concept and requirements development, safety architecture, safety V&V strategies, safety metrics for SOTIF

• Success applying the safety V-Model to sophisticated engineering projects, ideally in all stages of the system development life cycle

• Hands-on experience in ADAS or autonomous vehicle systems

• Familiarity with safety analysis methodologies & practices (HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, DFA) and Safety standards (ISO 26262, ISO 21448, IEC 61508)

• Experience with formal requirements management environments and expressing requirements, behavior and design using SysML

With competitive salaries and generous benefits packages, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers; we have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unparalleled growth, our outstanding teams are rapidly growing. If you're creative and passionate about safety and autonomous driving, we want to hear from you.
