An era in which our GPUs act as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent.
The DRIVE OS Team is searching for a hands-on Systems and Software Platform Engineer to develop innovative solutions for the world of transportation and the growing field of self-driving cars. This role works across software, hardware, safety, and product teams to develop, integrate, and improve capabilities within NVIDIA’s autonomous driving DRIVE OS software platform.
What you’ll be doing:
Collaborate with software, hardware, safety, and product management teams to translate product requirements into system requirements, software architectures, and technical designs
Design and develop solutions for vehicle interface abstraction, vehicle network topology and infrastructure, data flow, time synchronization, and other system-level capabilities
Develop, document, implement, and optimize software architectures and frameworks for real-world performance while meeting product and customer requirements
Design, develop, deploy, and improve AI agents and AI-assisted workflows that automate engineering tasks such as software development, system analysis, testing, debugging, documentation, data analysis, and developer productivity
Identify opportunities to apply generative AI and agentic workflows to improve engineering efficiency, software quality, and development processes
Debug complex system-level issues spanning software, operating systems, networking, middleware, and hardware interfaces
Collaborate across engineering teams to integrate, test, and deliver robust software capabilities on the DRIVE OS platform
