Senior Manager, Product - Perception Data

About the role

The Senior Manager of Product will lead a product group focused on improving perception models through high-quality, high-value data annotation strategies. This role requires a deep understanding of perception models and their impact on model performance, as well as genuine technical depth in ML data pipelines and perception tasks.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of how training data impacts perception model performance across tasks including 3D object detection, lane/road structure recognition, traffic sign and traffic light detection, and semantic segmentation.
• Partner with perception researchers and engineers to translate model capability gaps into concrete data requirements.
• Own annotation ontology design: define labeling taxonomies, attribute schemas, edge case handling rules, and inter-annotator consistency standards for perception network tasks such as 3D bounding boxes, lane elements, traffic sign/light classification and association.
• Anticipate how changes in data density, ROI size, and label complexity affect labeling throughput and delivery capacity; provide data-backed forecasts to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with global engineering and labeling teams to ensure data quality and explore how DNN/LLM/VLM improves the performance of data labeling.

Requirements

• BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of product management experience, with at least 2+ years in a role directly involving ML/AI model development, data pipelines, or training data strategy.
• Genuine understanding of perception model fundamentals.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills.
• 3+ years of experience leading or mentoring a team of product managers, tech leads, or equivalent.

Qualifications

• Fluent in Mandarin Chinese (a strong plus).
• Direct experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or ADAS product development.
• Familiarity with 3D reconstruction, SLAM, NeRF, LiDAR point cloud annotation, and multi-sensor fusion.
• Exposure to model-in-the-loop, human-in-the-loop, auto labeling, or VLM labeling.

Benefits

NVIDIA offers competitive compensation, including a base salary range of $272,000 - $431,250, along with equity and benefits. Applications for this position are open until July 25, 2026.
