Senior System Software Engineer— Autonomous Driving Context Fusion
NVIDIA · Santa Clara, CA · Posted 3 days ago
We are looking for a Software Optimization Engineer to join our DRIVE Road Structure / Online Mapping / Context Fusion team. In this role, you will improve the efficiency and real-time performance of software that brings together perception, map, and localization data to build a consistent model of the driving environment. You will work closely with algorithm and platform engineers to identify bottlenecks, optimize software architecture and data flows, and deliver measurable improvements in CPU utilization, memory usage, and latency on automotive platforms. Your work will help advanced autonomous driving capabilities run reliably within demanding compute and timing constraints.
What you’ll be doing:
- Optimize context fusion software that integrates perception, map, and localization data to represent the driving environment.
- Design and refine software architecture, interfaces, and data flows to meet CPU, memory, and latency requirements on automotive platforms.
- Profile complex software pipelines, identify performance bottlenecks, and implement improvements backed by reproducible measurements.
- Work with algorithm teams to improve computational efficiency while preserving algorithm behavior, output quality, and correctness.
- Develop benchmarks and performance regression tests to track improvements and prevent regressions.
- Partner with perception, mapping, localization, and platform engineers to resolve system-level performance issues.
- Write reliable, maintainable code and contribute to code reviews, testing, and the safety and quality expectations of autonomous driving software.
