Autonomous driving is entering a new era. Future AV systems will not be purely classical robotics stacks, nor purely end-to-end neural networks. The future lies in the deep integration of classical safety architectures and large-scale AI-driven systems. If you want to work on problems that build the future of autonomous systems over the next decade, this is the place.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nDefine quality metrics and evaluation methods that reveal where auto-labeling pipelines succeed, fail, or regress.\nBuild and maintain human-verified golden datasets covering representative driving conditions, critical corner cases, historical failures, and new requirements.\nAnalyze large-scale sensor, camera and annotation data to identify root causes, discover systematic errors, and prioritize improvements with perception and auto-labeling engineers.\nDevelop automated approaches for failure clustering, similar-case discovery, and targeted selection of data for human correction.\nBuild statistically sound audits and experiments, establish release acceptance criteria, and communicate findings through clear dashboards and recommendations.\nPartner with labeling operations to improve annotation guidelines, reviewer consistency, and the balance between quality, efficiency, and cost.\nWhat We Need To See\nGreat foundations in statistics, experimental design, sampling, hypothesis testing, and uncertainty estimation, with practical experience evaluating machine learning systems and data quality.\nExperience working on AI/LLM evaluation with proficiency in Python and SQL, including analyzing large datasets and building reproducible analytical workflows. Understanding of precision, recall, class imbalance, selection bias, data leakage, and evaluation across significant scenario groups.\nAbility to distinguish reference-label defects from model errors and translate ambiguous quality concerns into measurable questions and actionable recommendations.\nStrong communication and teamwork skills, with experience working across engineering, research, product, or operations teams.\n12+ years of industry experience with Bachelor degree or proven track record for Master in statistics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent experience in practice.\nWays To Stand Out from the Crowd:\nBackground with autonomous driving, robotics, or computer vision, particularly camera and LiDAR data, 2D/3D annotations, multi-object tracking, occupancy, or temporal and cross-sensor consistency.\nExperience designing human-in-the-loop labeling and audit workflows, measuring annotator agreement, or maintaining versioned benchmarks with protected evaluation sets.\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary ranges for this position are:\n224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5; and 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD for Level 6.\nYou will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
