Senior System Software Engineer, AV Platform - Test Platform Infrastructure, Tools and Simulation

Help bring NVIDIA's autonomous vehicle platform to new markets by developing and productizing innovative solutions that will transform transportation and the field of self-driving cars.

Responsibilities

• Drive the expansion of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) infrastructure to support the robust deployment and lifecycle management of next-generation autonomous systems at scale.
• Build and evolve agentic AI tools and frameworks to accelerate development, improve efficiency, and enable the scaling of new platforms.
• Lead highly cross-functional design for the HIL system — spanning HW architecture, embedded software, and application-layer tooling to deliver scalable workflows across organizational boundaries.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of demonstrated success in designing and implementing system software and tools.
• Expertise in low-level debugging and system-level optimization within complex embedded hardware-software ecosystems.
• Proven ability to drive technical alignment across organizational boundaries, synthesizing system-wide requirements from multiple stakeholders.
• Strong communicator who can operate effectively across global, fast-paced teams.
• A results-driven mindset to solving ambiguous technical challenges.

Skills

• Hands-on experience designing and deploying HIL/SIL systems for embedded automotive or robotics platforms.
• Demonstrated track record of building agentic AI tools that accelerate software development.
• Experience scaling CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes) in cloud-native or hybrid environments for mission-critical system software.
• In-depth domain expertise in automotive networking protocols (Ethernet, CAN/CAN-FD, LIN) and real-time communication middleware.

We value different paths to technical excellence and welcome candidates who bring strong judgment, curiosity, and a collaborative approach.
