System Software Engineer, High Integrity Data Pipelining

NVIDIA is a leading artificial intelligence computing company, and we are paving the way with innovations in self-driving cars, machine learning, supercomputing, gaming and visualization. We give automakers, tier-1 suppliers, automotive research institutions, and start-ups the power and flexibility to develop and deploy breakthrough artificial intelligence systems for self-driving vehicles. Our unified computing architecture enables training deep neural networks in the data center, and then seamlessly runs them on NVIDIA DRIVE Platforms inside the vehicle.

The NvStreams team within NVIDIA DRIVE Software plays a critical role in NVIDIA's expansion into the world of artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. NvStreams technology is a core element of the NVIDIA DRIVE software platform supplying sophisticated, high integrity data and sensor processing infrastructure. NvStreams enables NVIDIA DRIVE users to develop software frameworks and distributed applications that optimize use of NVIDIA hardware acceleration capabilities, seamlessly port across different NVIDIA powered platforms - from data center to vehicles, and easily scale from a simple deployment to multiple hardware systems. It also maintains strong isolation guarantees and real-time monitoring of all parts of the processing pipeline. We develop NvStreams with a strong focus on automotive quality, safety and security needed for the real-time, highly-available system level components of world-class Autonomous Vehicles. We continuously research and adopt most innovative practices in automation of software design and development to achieve higher levels of software integrity and reliability.
