Technical Lead, GenAI - Autonomous Vehicles

We are seeking a highly technical and strategic Senior Technical Lead to join our team, with a focus on engaging developer ecosystems across emerging technology domains such as Generative AI, Autonomous Vehicles, and Simulation Platforms. In this pivotal role, you will work directly with software solution providers, developers, and industry professionals to foster the adoption of NVIDIA’s advanced AI and computing platforms—including Omniverse, Cosmos, and GenAI frameworks. The ideal candidate brings a blend of deep technical expertise and commercial go-to-market experience, combined with a passion for developer advocacy and a talent for communicating how NVIDIA technology can solve complex, real-world challenges.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Serve as a technical advisor and problem solver with partner engineering teams, collaborating on architecture, code, and integration for Omniverse and AI enabled-solutions.
• Develop and maintain deep technical expertise in NVIDIA Cosmos and Omniverse Platforms and related technologies (APIs, USD, NIMs, Blueprints) through prototyping, technical integration and creation of reference architectures.
• Advise on technical enablement resources such as sample code, guides, demonstration pipelines, and tools to highlight the application of technologies in solving real-world problems.
• Engage with partner software organizations, from engineering teams to technical leaders, and decision-makers to understand their goals, solve technical challenges, and promote best practices for successful integrations.
• Represent and advocate for the partner technical needs and feedback to NVIDIA’s internal product and engineering teams, supplying actionable insights from field deployments to influence product roadmaps.
• Support product launches, technical go-to-market activities by providing technical validation, demonstrating integrated solutions, and ensuring excellence in customer- and partner-facing materials.
• Guide partners and startups through onboarding and integration with NVIDIA’s programs, fostering co-innovation and the development of next-generation solutions.

What We Need to See:

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years of experience 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 code 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.
• Skilled at collaborating across engineering, product, sales, and marketing teams, with strong interpersonal abilities to simplify complex technical concepts for diverse audiences.
• Experience leading technical collaborations with engineering and product teams—including architectural design, code reviews, technical mentorship, and delivery of technical talks or workshops.
• 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.
• 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) with a proven track record to profile and optimize inference latency and throughput, memory and I/O utilization.
• Successful history of building and scaling developer communities and delivering impactful technical enablement programs.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the world’s most desirable employers! We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to outstanding growth, our best-in-class engineering teams are rapidly growing.
