Principal Software Engineer, Vehicle Dynamics Simulation - AV

NVIDIA

📍 Santa Clara, CA, United States

Full-time other-general

Job Description

At NVIDIA, we are advancing autonomous vehicle development through scalable simulation, AI, and thorough validation. Our Autonomous Vehicle Simulation team builds systems that help engineers develop, test, debug, and improve driving behavior before it reaches the road. We connect planner and controller intent to realistic motion across highway, city, parking, and active-safety scenarios. In this Principal-level individual contributor role, you’ll shape a production vehicle dynamics simulation framework spanning model fidelity, parameter adaptation, software interfaces, validation, and integration. Join us in making demanding maneuvers—from low-speed parking to evasive steering and hard braking—more faithful in simulation!


What you’ll be doing:
+ Be responsible for the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap for vehicle dynamics simulation across highway, city, parking, active-safety, and low-speed workflows.
+ Develop production-quality C++ interfaces for simpl...
