Senior Technical Program Manager, Safety and Product Life Cycle - Autonomous Vehicles

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, WA

About The Position

The Autonomous Vehicles (AV) team is searching for a highly motivated, highly technical Program Manager to define and build the future of NVIDIA's self-driving software. Our mission is to build and scale self-driving technology at light speed – from L2 driving to L4 robotaxis. We work with multiple OEM partners globally, and our software will be used by millions of customers worldwide. In this role, you will be responsible for the product life cycle and safety aspect of NVIDIA's stack. You will need to deeply understand how NVIDIA delivers and implements ISO 26262. Your role includes tracking the execution across the entire program to ensure delivery timelines can be met and continuously improving execution processes. You will work closely with developers and safety engineers to deliver the best technology solutions for these problems. Ultimately you will ensure our products can actually be released, making the future of self driving vehicles a reality. NVIDIA is the leading artificial intelligence computing company, and we are paving the way with innovations in simulation, visualization, supercomputing and self-driving cars. NVIDIA gives 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. Today, we are working with over 270 partners that are using our platform in the development of autonomous cars, trucks, shuttles and taxis. NVIDIA is the world leader in accelerated computing. NVIDIA pioneered accelerated computing to tackle challenges no one else can solve. Our work in AI and digital twins is transforming the world's largest industries and profoundly impacting society.
