About this job

NVIDIA is building the world’s leading AI company, and we are looking for an expert AV and GenAI Solutions Architect to help assist customers with adoption of NVIDIA's full-stack technologies as well as building and deploying solutions around Generative AI and Physical AI and other related GPU-accelerated technologies in which intelligent agents can learn, reason, and interact the world. As part of the Automotive Solutions Architecture team, we work with some of the most innovative accelerated computing platforms focused on the development and test of autonomous vehicles, in-vehicle AI assistance, and ride sharing algorithms among other things. A Solutions Architect is the first line of technical expertise between NVIDIA and customers so you will engage directly with developers, researchers, and visionary scientists at some of the most strategic customers as well as work directly with business and engineering teams on product strategy as it pertains to these customers. Join us in this exciting endeavor!

What you'll be doing:

  • Engage with customers to help them scope and develop solutions for building AV perception and planning models and pipelines, simulations, synthetic data generation, and software in the loop testing, AI enhanced manipulation and navigation workflows using NVIDIA's Physical AI platforms and CUDA-X libraries.

  • Provide hands-on technical mentorship to partners and customers on Nvidia GenAI stack. Guide customers to develope and deploy Agentic AI workflows on our platforms, quantifying the benefits of our accelerated computing software and hardware.

  • Partner with Sales, Engineering, Product and other Solution Architect teams to drive NVIDIA full stack adoption. Develop a deep understanding of customer workflows and requirements, lead proof-of-concepts evaluations and provide internal feedback to drive continuous product improvements.

  • Build collateral (notebooks, github repos, demos, etc.) applied to workflows such as AV and GenAI data curation, model training and validations, LLMs, VFMs, video encoding/decoding, etc.

What we need to see:

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or equivalent experience.

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in a technical AI role, with a strong emphasis on AV End-to-End models and GenAI model development.

  • Experience writing production codes in Python, or C++ and proficiency with Linux.

  • Hands-on experience with DevOps tools such as GitLab, Docker, and Kubernetes.

  • Strong understanding of AV systems (Sensors, dynamics, perception, prediction, planning, control).

  • Experience with DL and RL algorithms and frameworks such as PyTorch.

  • Enjoy working with multiple levels and teams across organizations (engineering/research, product, sales and marketing teams).

  • Effective verbal/written communication, and technical presentation skills.

  • Self-starter with a vision for growth, real passion for continuous learning and sharing findings across the team.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with AV sensors, data curation pipelines, world models, simulations workflows and tools e.g., Carla.

  • Experience with Agentic AI frameworks, tools, and protocols like LangChain, LangGraph, MCP or equivalent experience.

  • Understand computational characteristics of Multimodal LLMs, VLMs, DiT, etc.

  • Experience in deploying LLM models at scale on mainstream cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).

  • Proven track record to profile and optimize inference latency and throughput, memory and I/O utilization.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary range for this position is 184,000 USD – 287,500 USD.
