About the job
NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Radar Perception Engineer to contribute to the design and productization of their next-generation autonomous driving perception stack. This role involves working on the core 3D radar and multi-modal obstacle perception pipeline, focusing on architecture and algorithm design. The engineer will be hands-on with implementation, including modern transformer-based, radar-centric foundation models, and multi-sensor fusion techniques.
Responsibilities
- Develop and improve the technical design, architecture, and roadmap for radar-based 3D obstacle perception.
- Conduct applied research on deep learning models for radar point cloud data.
- Design and implement advanced 3D perception models using radar inputs and multi-sensor fusion.
- Drive radar sensor evaluation, selection, and layout optimization for autonomous driving applications.
- Build efficient, production-grade deep learning models for radar perception.
- Define and maintain KPI frameworks to quantify radar perception performance and analyze failure modes.
- Contribute to the data strategy for radar perception, including data and labeling requirements.
- Collaborate with safety, systems, and software teams to ensure radar perception solutions meet product requirements.
Requirements
- 12+ years of experience developing deep learning-based perception, radar signal processing, or related systems.
- Strong proficiency in frameworks such as PyTorch.
- Proven experience in data-driven development and collaboration with data/labeling teams.
- Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++.
- Experience building reliable, high-performance, production-quality software.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related fields (or equivalent experience).
